My motto:
“You have two choices when life gets you down.You can lay down and give up or you can stand up
in fight. Do the best you think you can do.When that’s not enough, you give more.”
Profile:
Hello! My name is Mike Rivera. I am a web and
graphic designer for hire. I believe in what I am doing
and take every opportunity with burning desire to do
my best.
A little about me:
I have been working in media since I was a teenager. I
have always found it fascinating, since it is constantly
changing and innovating. I never thought I’d end up as
a designer, but have found it to be very fulfilling and
love creating new opportunities. I put myself through
college, without any family support. I worked fand
went to school full time. I am all about getting what
I need to get done before the deadline is up. I am
motivated to work hard, because that is what I was
taught from day one.
I love music and playing live for a crowd. I taught
myself how to play the drums, guitar, bass and a little
bit of keyboard. Also, I can play the saxophone and
clarinet. I love the outdoors and I am a huge Oregon
State Beavers fan (being an alumni and all).
Publications:
I have had the priviledge to have worked with
Broadway in Portland, The Portland Opera, Oregon
Symphony, The Oregon Ballet Theater, The Portland
Ballet, Museum Store Association, The Cultural
Traveler, and Shop America Tours. Here are a couple
samples for you to see.

Management System. The biggest site I have worked on
is MSAProductShop.com as the website administator

Saxophonist
James
Carter’s
successful work on multiple
recordings, skilled improvisation and
performances with his Organ Trio
can attest to his mastery of these
musical dialects. The seed of his
proficiency in musical language was
nurtured in what Carter calls “a fertile
environment for the arts,” surrounded
by music aficionados in his family
and friends as he grew up in Detroit.
Also encouraged by his mentor and
teacher Donald Washington, Carter
began his serious pursuit of music as
a teen with scholarships to the highly
regarded Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp
and Interlochen Center for the Arts
summer program.
Years down the road, the major
element that defines his music making
is experimentation across musical
genres, or “cross-pollination.” In
knowing many different musical
styles intimately, Carter is ready
to call upon and fuse them into
something different and complex,
unleashing new possibilities. And
though many pieces become familiar
with repeated performances, Carter is
always ready to peel back the layers
and discover different nuances: “You
can go to that well so many times
and still be nourished.”

InSymphony: How did you get started
with music, and when did you know you
wanted to be a musician?
James Carter: I come from a musical
family, actually. I’m the youngest of five—
two brothers and two sisters—all musically
inclined. In my household, it was a very
fertile environment for the arts. In addition
to my siblings, my mom played piano and
violin in her formative years; dad played
a mean radio. I had a host of cousins that
played. Friends have also shared similar
musical interests and inclinations. So, very,
very fertile household as far as music was
concerned, and I flirted around with some
other instruments. I always jokingly [say]
that I am a frustrated guitarist who ended
up on saxophone.
InSymphony: How do you feel the city
you grew up in, and the schools you went
to affected your ideas about music?
JC: In Detroit, the city itself is very musical
and artistic to the nth degree. Back in the
day, of course, we had individuals who
were part of the great migration from
the south coming up north to find jobs—
[with] Ford and various other automakers.
As a result, they brought that soul with
them, and if they weren’t able to make it
on the assembly line, they made it into the
clubs. So, for me personally, I really think
the pivotal point was running into my
musical father, Mr. Donald Washington.
He came at a crucial time when I was
really thinking about quitting. The reason
being that there wasn’t a program or
teachers at liberty that were teaching preadolescents about jazz to keep enthusiasm
up. He was one of the rare individuals that
did. The classes that I was attending at
the time were regular instrumental music
classes that had the first divisional band,
the books. You learned a new note every
other lesson—“Mary Had a Little Lamb”
and “Hot Cross Buns”. Today we learn
the quarter rest and that stuff—one rest,
two rest—that type of environment. So,
meanwhile, back at home, I’m listening to
radio and to records and whatever I can—
very enthusiastic. I’m digging this jazz.
That was courtesy of my mom because
when she was doing chores around the
house, she would always have music on,

Magic Circle Mime Co. performs
April 18, 2015.
A Deadly
Duo
Doug MacIntyre of Magic
Circle Mime Co. on Death on
the Downbeat’s mysteriously
murdered maestro.
By Samantha Edington
Conductor Gundar Bigherr has kicked the bucket, and
we are suspects! Magic Circle Mime Co.’s Death on the
Downbeat treats audiences to a film noir-themed whodunit
accompanied by the Oregon Symphony orchestra.
Premiered in Chicago in 1993, this show, which “came
later in the progression of things” for the company, is off
the beaten path of its many mime acts.
Doug MacIntyre and Maggie Petersen founded Magic
Circle Mime Co. based on a shared interest in miming and
their musical backgrounds. They began with performances
geared toward educating audiences, mainly younger
ones, about classical music, but their work grew into
something bigger—something MacIntyre repeatedly called
“serendipitous.” And since the duo “cannot speak in many
languages,” they mime to provide visual interpretations that
enhance the musical pieces played by the orchestras they
work with. Knowing that classical music has great storytelling depth and that miming is a universal language, the
duo exposes audiences to classical music with a theatrical
touch.
I spoke with MacIntyre about Magic Circle Mime Co.’s
origins and how he and Petersen brought Death on the
Downbeat into their repertoire.
InSymphony: How did Magic Circle Mime Co. come together?
Doug MacIntyre: I wish I could say it was some great, overwhelming
vision that we had, but it was just something that started off as a
lucky break and we kind of capitalized on that and then got an
opportunity to try it again. Word spread a little bit, and then we got
some really great assistance from some conductors we worked with
and administrators; it kind of evolved to the point that Maggie and
I looked at each other and went, “Wow, this is more than just a job.
This seems to be evolving into a career.” Once we started to do it,
it was just so much fun to be up there with such great musicians
playing such great music.
New Year’s Eve concerts, and they asked him if he would do it one
last time before he left, and he said, “I’ll do it, but I don’t want to do
another Vienna Waltz New Year’s Eve. Let’s ask Doug and Maggie
at Magic Circle if they can come up with an idea for us.” So, Ken
called us. I don’t know exactly how we came up with it, but we just
decided that a live murder mystery concert, kind of in the…I am
going to blank on her name—the great English mystery writer…
InSymphony: What is your process in developing shows?
DM: We have nine shows we keep in our repertoire. Each one
has come into being in a slightly different way. Sometimes it will
be a piece of music that we react to that we want to work with,
and we spin the story around that. When it comes to Death on the
Downbeat, we actually wrote that show as a favor to a conductor
who had done a lot of work for us, and at the time he was the
resident conductor of the Chicago Symphony. He always did their
Feature_.indd 10
InSymphony: Agatha Christie?
DM: Yes, Agatha Christie. So we thought, how great that we have
a concert and everybody’s there and we have this evil conductor
that has been murdered during rehearsal. So, we’re just going to go
ahead with the concert and figure out who did it during the course
of the concert. It was one of those shows that once we came up
with it, it wrote itself, probably as fast as any show we ever created.
InSymphony: Are mysteries a favorite of yours?
DM: You know, I’ve read some. I really do like mysteries. And
it just felt like a really nice fit for an orchestra, especially when
we were able to tie it in with the idea of film noir music. All of

As the curtain rises for Act 1, we see Cinderella
in her unhappy domestic life. The household
includes Cinderella’s ineffectual father, her imperious
stepmother and her abusive Stepsisters, who are cast in
the English pantomime tradition with men in female
roles. Cinderella’s only apparent friend is her broom, a
symbol of her everyday drudgery. When she is alone,
she dances with the broom, dreaming that she too could
attend the coming ball. The stage is soon full of action
to ready the Stepsisters for the event. A dressmaker, a
wigmaker and a dancing master all arrive in turn to
undertake the seemingly impossible task of making the

Stepsisters appear attractive and coordinated. Once they
have departed and Cinderella is alone, a beggar woman
enters, soon to reveal her true identity as Cinderella’s
Fairy Godmother. She transforms the kitchen into an
enchanted wood where dragonflies dart through the
forest. Cinderella will attend the ball after all, gloriously
attired in the riches of nature, as personified by the fairies
representing the four seasons. But her beautiful clothes
come with a warning that she must return home before
midnight or she will once again find herself in rags. A
pumpkin and a mischief of mice have been magically
transformed into a carriage drawn by a team of horses
that will carry Cinderella to the ball.
slipper in her pocket. The Stepsisters return home,
bragging about the wonderful time they had at the
ball. But before long, the Prince arrives in search of the
rightful owner of the dropped slipper. The Stepsisters
go through a laughable series of attempts to cram the
shoe onto their oversized feet. Cinderella sits by the fire,
unnoticed until the Prince calls her to him. Coming
near to him seems almost too much for her, and she
drops the shoe that was hidden in her pocket. When
the Prince sees that the shoe is a match, he is sure of her
identity and their fate is complete. They dance and the
Fairy Godmother returns and transforms the kitchen
once more. The fairies return to dance their blessings.
Members of the court, winged angels, the fairies and the
Fairy Godmother gather, and in the final tableau we see
the coronation of the new King and Queen.

As Act 2 opens, we are transported to the spectacular
ballroom scene. The Stepsisters make an absurdly
graceless entrance, and that is soon followed by the
arrival of a beautiful guest—Cinderella resplendent in
her new surroundings. When she locks eyes with the
Prince, it is love at first sight. They dance, but their
time together is interrupted by the fateful striking of the
clock at midnight. She rushes out—leaving behind one
shoe. Heartbroken, the Prince retrieves the shoe, vowing
to find his true love as the curtain falls on Act 2.
In Act 3, we see Cinderella at home, sleeping by the
fire. When she awakens, her dream of the ball seems
impossible until she finds her one remaining, magical

discovers her own entertainment when she stumbles upon the staff quarters
when an all-night dance party is in full swing. Mesmerized by the raunchy
dance moves and the pounding rhythms, Baby can’t wait to be part of the
scene, especially when she catches sight of Johnny Castle, the resort dance

of Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, highrolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends
up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill
nightclub performer whose condition is brought on
by the fact she’s been engaged to the same man for
14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé,
desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous
floating craps game.

In 1865, Johannes Brahms composed 16 waltzes for piano duet (four hands). They were so successful that his publisher requested he arrange
them as waltzes for solo version: an easy and a more difficult set. The latter you will hear today.
I have infused most of these waltzes into today’s program for various levels of TPB curriculum, hoping this format will enlighten the
dancers, introducing them to more serious and danceable music. In the future, I would like to use the shorter piano pieces of other composers,
such as Chopin and/or J.S. Bach. Enjoy!

The Cultural Traveler was a great magazine because
it had so many pictires to work with. I got to work
with clients around the United States who purchased
advertorials. I created an issue that had its distint style,
but changed how photos were placed and how they
stacked next to the ads. I am all about continuty from

Exploring
Vermont’s Byways
Brattleboro Music Center
For foodies and thirsty travelers,
Chews & Brews recommends
farmers markets, artisanal cheese
makers, breweries, wineries and
distilleries. For those inspired by the
artistic and extraordinary, Arts &
Culture reveals Vermont’s embrace
of all things creative with galleries,
museums, studios and performing
arts venues. The state’s rich legacy
Farmers Market
of historic resources is as diverse as
it is engaging. History & Heritage
recommends everything from a
12,000-year-old Native American
site and an operating 19th century
farm museum, to explorations of the
stories revealed in historic villages
and towns. For physical pursuits from
mild to wild, Outdoor Recreation
highlights year round activities,
whether they be in snow or air, or on
mountain, land or water.
Many Vermonters refer to their state
as one big town—wherever they go, they
know someone or have connections
with the place they are visiting. Vermont
is a warm and engaging place, and the
byways transport visitors to the heart of
things. Plan a trip soon.

O
ne of the best ways to experience Vermont is to travel
the roadways that hug the
mountains and meet in the valleys.
These are the roads that take travelers through Vermont’s forests and
farmland to centuries-old villages
and towns that today are vibrant
hubs of culture, community, commerce and recreation.
Vermont’s 10 designated byways
range in length from 14 miles to
over 400 miles, and they are located
throughout Vermont. Explorations
can range from an afternoon or a
week to an entire summer.
Whatever the mode of transportation—car, motorcycle, vintage automobile or bicycle—touring provides
visitors with front-row access to
experiencing the intersection of the
land, history and community. Museums, art galleries, antique and curio
shops pop up everywhere. Iconic
Vermont dairy farms, along with
small-scale farms tied to the state’s
vibrant farm-to-plate scene, sell
their products at roadside stands. An
amazing network of state parks and
trailheads to swimming holes, waterfalls, hikes and valley views provide
easy access to Vermont’s stunning
natural features. Side excursions unearth the sublime—top-notch music
festivals and outdoor events, and the
delightfully down-to-earth—church
suppers, flea markets, historical society museums and vibrant library
programs.
Each byway offers themed
itineraries that are perfect for
jumpstarting a byway exploration.
Developed by people who live
and work along the byways, the
itineraries are like getting advice
from the locals.

TAX FREE
P
ortland and the entire state of
Oregon are tax-free (there is no
sales tax), which makes Portland
a great shopping destination. For even
bigger savings, check out the two
major (tax-free!) outlet malls within a
half-hour drive of Portland. At
Woodburn Premium Outlets, you can
score finds from the likes of Nike,
J.Crew, Banana Republic and more
than 100 other big-name brands. East
of the city, near the entrance to the
stunning Columbia River Gorge
National Scenic Area, the Columbia
Gorge Premium Outlets offers big
savings at 45 retailers.
Portland’s compact, walkable

locally owned and national retailers,
including Coach, Louis Vuitton, H&M,
Kitson, Tory Burch, Macy’s, Nordstrom
and more, with many conveniently
located in the central, four-city-block
Pioneer Place shopping center. The
adjacent Pearl District is bursting with
high-end, modern shops offering handpicked collections. Minutes away, the
Northwest/Nob Hill neighborhood has
quaint boutiques nestled amid Victorian
houses and delicious eateries on the
pedestrian-friendly Northwest 21st and
23rd avenues.
Complementing Portlanders’ love for
outdoor recreation and proximity to
wonderful natural beauty, the city is full
of outdoor outfitters, including national
and international brands like Nike,
adidas, R.E.I., Icebreaker and Montbell,
as well as local experts like U.S. Outdoor
Store and Next Adventure.
Portland, Oregon, is known for its
do-it-yourself and hand-crafted
ethos and for producing more
Project Runway fashion reality show

winners than anywhere else. But the
“City of Roses” and the entire state
of Oregon offer an abundance of
options for any type of shopper—all
100% tax-free.
On Portland’s east side (across
the Willamette River), you’ll find
Oregon’s largest mall, Lloyd Center,
full of major retailers and even an
indoor ice-skating rink. The up-andcoming Central Eastside and close-in
neighborhoods feature edgy, modern
stores and made-in-Portland goods,
like handmade leather products and
bike gear, locally designed clothing
produced in-store, one-of-a-kind
decorations and home goods and
more. Portland’s close-in suburbs
also house the notable Washington
Square Mall, Clackamas Town Center,
Streets of Tanasbourne shopping
center and upscale Bridgeport
Village outdoor mall.

Web Design for
MSAProductShop.com
I am the web administrator and designer for MSAProductShop.
We work for the Museum Store Association to provide an
online catalog for different vendors aroudn the globe. The
website was designed for museum store buyer to have a
catalog of products they can look at and have direct contact
with the vendors.
My responsibilites include SEO, technical support, and
forwarding inquires to sales.This is a redesign of the original
website that I had complete control over.
Being a website administrator has given more a great deal
more perspective into web functions than I ever thought I
would deal with. I have learned to understand pHp, MySQL,
Page 10
and Javascript. I use Google Analytics to track how we are
doing as far as reaching buyers in and out of the Museum
Store Association. When I first started working on the
website, we were not able to track anything.
Over time, I was able to help the SEO and find ways to
track website usage. In the second quarter of 2015, we
found that we averaged 14,118 pageviews by 1783 users
and our average duration was 2:38 minutes. We were able
to use this data to retain 90% of our advertising vendors
going into 2016.
Logo Design: Infamous Unknown
I did mention that I like to play live music. I have band
called Infamous Unknown, and these are two logos I
created for the band. We wanted more of a nebulous
design since our name is quite esoteric at it core. I was
just messing around one day in Illustrator and these
came up! We used the cool blue and green design for
the fall and winter time and the red for the summer.
The two flyers at the bottom are from our performances
at different venues. I created these simple graphics just
to get the name out there. It didn’t need to be super
flashy, just present the infomation that people needed
to know.

Beaverton, Oregon
Web Designer/Administrator/SEO Specialist
• I co-developed MSAProductShop.com with a HTML5 and CSS through the Joomla! 3.0 Content Management System. Also, I
managed our SEO with the use of social media and Google Analytics. It is a niche market created to enhance the B2B market between
museum store buyers and vendors who want to advertise. I have working knowledge of SQL, PHP and JavaScript function.
• I redesigned and currently run the administrative role for MSAProductShop. I created a way to use an E-commerce system as a
catalog system for advertisements before products were sold on the system.
• In the first year working with the analytics, I increased from the 3,339 page views per month to 17,308 page views per month. We
saw an increase of 436% in our first year. We brought what users wanted to see to the front page and increased links within the product
pages, which propelled users into “products they may like as well”, “products by vendor” and “by featured products”.
• I created an online submission system, where advertisers would submit their information via email to where I could develop their
vendor profiles and product pages. This included placing them into certain categories and with keyword searches.
• I worked with the Skies America design team to develop concise and effective email blast campaigns to our members. This would
generate members to seek new advertising and alert museum store buyers on what is to come as far as inventory.
Graphic Designer
• I am the designer for Oregon Symphony’s Magazine. I have designed books for Oregon Ballet Theater, The Portland Ballet, Portland
Opera and Broadway in Portland.
• I coordinate with the vice president of communications of the Oregon Symphony to receive content and layout designs for their
programs. We do a total of three client proofs before we send files to print.
• Use Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop to create magazine layouts that best display the featured stories, program pages,
biographies and program notes.
• I work on advertisement builds for our advertisers. I gather content, which included company information, photos and promotions
they wish to highlight for our different magazines.
October 2010 – June 2014
Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill Kitchen Expert
• I worked as an extension to management, fulfilling orders, training staff and executing food safety regulations.
• I efficiently mastered all four stations in the kitchen.
• I handled store inventory and soft inventory to track food cost.
• I trained new employees and kitchen experts to all legal food handling & Applebee’s specifications.
• I lead all staff in food knowledge and education.
December 2012 – June 2013
The Commuter Sports Editor

• I interviewed players and coaches on a weekly basis.
• I was in charge of all video productions within the Commuter, along with filming and editing videos.
• I posted all videos onto the Commuter website and YouTube.
• I designed layouts for website and web app.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you today in order to explain why I am the guy for this job. I want you to know a little bit
about me beyond what the resume says. I am dedicated and seek to take challenges head on. Though my
experiences in the work place, I can tell you that I have gained invaluable skills that have made me who I
am today.
Before I went to college, I was able to attain a high school internship with an NBC affiliate doing part-time
videographer and video editor. In the matter of a year, I was directing live broadcast news at the age of
18. I trained many different positions while I was there. When I had learned everything that there was to
learn, I was encouraged by my bosses to go back to school. I started going to Oregon State University in
2008. I continued to do part-time work with the news station for sometime before securing work in the
Corvallis area. I tell this story to show you my dedication in the work place.
While in college I was able to secure work as a cook at Applebee’s. This was a fast-paced environment,
where I learned to work efficiently even in times of high stress. I worked and went to school full-time, a
task that can be daunting for most. In my junior year, I secured a job as a sports editor at our school newspaper at Linn-Benton Community College. While I was there, I was the first sports editor to gain media
access to all the Oregon State sporting events. I worked in the press box for football and basketball, covering sports. This was a huge accomplishment for the community college and myself.
In conclusion, I wanted you to know about me in order to illustrate why I believe I am the guy for this job.
Based on my past, I have shown that I am a hard worker, who is actively looking for new challenges to attain experience and skills. I want to be as valuable to my employer as I can. I strive to be the best at what I
do.
Thank you for taking this opportunity to review my information. I look forward to talking to you soon
about employment. Please contact me as soon as possible to schedule an interview.
Sincerely,
Mike Rivera
