Lintz - "a computer nerd with creative nerves"
Throughout my school years I took many art classes in drawing, painting and sculpture, and in high school, I started working with photo and design software for the first time. I taught myself graphic design through trial-and-error, bugging friends with questions, using the "help" feature in programs and a lot of time spent holed-up in my home office. I attended the University of California, San Diego and received a BFA in Visual Arts in 2004. In June of 2005, I went to work as an Art Director for a newspaper and magazine publishing company in North San Diego County—a great mesh of my creative and technical skills. I design the advertisements, layouts, website and do a lot of photo work. Many of the company's clients needed design work outside of the ads they ran in the publications so Lintz Designs was born to fill that need. I specialize in working with small businesses and personal clients. My husband, Patrick, and I met in a drawing class and our love of art and each other has grown over the last seven years. We decided to offer more than just graphic services since our real passion is art and creating with our hands. Our combined working experience in creative fields is over 19 years!

Lintz - "the mad torchman"
I was a tile-setter for over five years and when we started using granite to make countertops, I decided to make sculptures out of the leftover stone pieces. I took classes at Palomar College in art and sculpture, which pushed my creativity and gave me experience in using many different materials including: wood, styrofoam, plaster, bronze and especially metal. In 2005, I had a major career change and started welding. I loved the fire and heat and melting metal and I was soon dubbed by my co-workers as "the mad torchman" because of the excitement that I got from it. Over the years I have built large entry gates, trailers, intricately hand-forged wrought iron doors, equipment trailers, top quality long travel dune buggies, and most recently, high-end aluminum mountain bike frames. In 2007, I received my certification in Structural Steel Welding (GMAW-S CS 3G: ANSI/AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel). My wife, Sheena, and I met in an art class and our love of art and each other has grown over the last seven years. We decided that Lintz Designs should offer more than just graphic services and that my experience in mosaic and tile work, welding and sculpture can make your home and wildest ideas into custom works of art. |

I've
always had a love of art and computers. I got my first Apple computer
when I was eight years old, in 1991 (which I believe was pretty
close to when the first Apple computer to came out), and have been
a "Mac addict" ever since.
I've
always had an interest in working with my hands. No matter the material,
I can create something from it.
