images by pat irwin – about pat irwin
Hello! And thank you for taking the time to find out more about me! As you’ve already guessed, I’m Pat Irwin, owner of images by pat irwin , which has been operating full time since 2007. At the ripe age of 38 years, I made the decision to leave the corporate world and follow my passion as an artist and a nerd, and make images by pat irwin a full time reality.
For me, this is not just a job that I drag myself to everyday, and hastily leave behind the moment I walk out the door: it is my true passion. My waking thoughts and midnight oil hours are spent thinking of how to create, combine and perfect the combination of design, aesthetics and art with my other passion: technology.
My love for art began as a child… I can remember even at an early age experiencing the mental process of breaking things down to shapes, patterns and colors, and began learning how to create and assemble them from scratch.
Sadly, as I got older, I did not follow my true nature but did what was practical; I went to school for electronics and worked as a Sr. Field Technician for many years, and many evolutions of technology. This is where computers became a hobby that ran amuck!
As the electronics industry migrated from ‘repair’ to ‘replace’, I found my place in it more and more unstable; I finally decided an overhaul in my career and other areas in my life was in order! In 2007, after re-discovering and re-sharpening my self-taught design and code authoring skills, I finally committed to the risk of going into business for myself, and launched images by pat irwin.
As I found that a career in design, art and technology was now practical, I tested and was accepted as a Web Design and Interactive Media student at the Art Institute of Philadelphia in 2009, to further sharpen my skill set and keep pace with the still rapidly advancing technology.
My dream is to continue to grow and serve my clients with the one-on-one, personal attention and passion for their projects they have come to expect. My hope is that you will allow me to take part in creating an image for you!
