Hello! I’m George Machala, and I’m a designer and a video game console technician based in Franklin and Oneonta, New York area. I studied at SUNY Cobleskill, and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Graphic Design Technology
I’ve been designing since my freshman year in high school, when the class was offered as my art credit for the year. That 6 person class was chaos in its purest form, but the chaos led to me wanting to explore more, and eventually led to me choosing Design as a career path. My junior and senior years, I attended the Visual Communications program at DCMO BOCES (Harrold Campus), and my teacher was able to help guide me to finding what I really want to do- design baseball cards, logos, and brand identities
I’ve also been repairing game consoles since late 2021, after wanting to fix my broken 3DS that had been gathering dust. After that, I realized I could pursue it as something more than a hobby, and offer repair services to my community.
