Steven Barber
Technician
Steven assists the Charlotte Building Solutions Department with drafting; illustration; graphical and informational diagrams; and bits of animation. He enjoys the process of seeing an idea in sketch form, developing and becoming a finished idea. Explaining concepts through drawing is an ongoing motivation for him, which may include working by hand, models or using ACAD, CorelDraw, Photo-Paint, etc. Steven believes that being able to talk with people and ask the right questions is just as important as the drawing production. He explores many areas of his creative nature, whether it is exploring new electronic and experimental music that he often plays on his internet radio program, and by drawing and painting. Over the past twenty-five years, Steven has worked as a designer in the following disciplines: theatrical scenic/lighting/props, McDonald’s indoor/outdoor playgrounds as well as signage, graphics, maps and museum displays. He has also spent a good deal of time as a technical illustrator working on procedural and standards manuals for a large local power company. Over the years, Steven has also enjoyed acting and directing roles and lecturing at Pembroke State University. He is proud of his wife who is an RN and works third shift in the OR where she tries to save lives, while the rest of the family sleeps. They are very busy with a son, two cats, a terrier dog and an 80 lb. greyhound that is pure muscle!
