I began with a BFA from a college that technically no longer exists. My tools were rubylith and rapidograph- which I threw out the window as soon as I could in favor of the Adobe Suite. This nonetheless set me up with a solid foundation in print design doing corporate ID and advertising.
It was then time to chase my internet dreams so I hitched up with a dot-com startup in NYC crafting the UI and designing games for the first ever internet game platform. Suffice to say, with 28.8 baud modems the norm at the time, we were way ahead of our time.
Since then, I have been focused on web-based promotions directing teams to architect, design, and build dynamic promotions for deployment across all sorts of devices and platforms in support of hundreds of top-tier brands (and given one was in Japan I will say "all around the world".)
Assembled and managed team of in-house and contract web designers for an industry-leading web promotions company producing web sites and interactive media for top tier brands such as Sony, NFL, and CNN.
Developed and guiding the company’s corporate ID through all mediums.
Forged complex web interfaces for online databases, designed and coded multiple web sites, created advertising campaigns and corporate logos, designed interactive entertainment application interface and associated games.
Mentored junior designers.
Consulted with clients to design promotions to meet their needs, determine scope of work, and implement the targeted solution.
Authored and reviewed Statement of Work for proposals and projects.
Scheduled and appropriated resources for projects.
Utilized broad technical background to facilitate seamless interface between client and all facets of in-house production.
