I am a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, and hold a BFA in Graphic Design. I began my career in print, designing and preparing digital files for commercial offset printing. In addition to print design, I have spent the last seven years studying and applying design and interface principles to technology, spanning the distribution mediums of CD-ROM, websites, interactive DVD, and applying the authoring mediums of HTML, JavaScript, image optimization, animated gif, motion graphics, Flash, Director, Shockwave, sound engineering, digital video compression, DHTML, JSP and ASP to those mediums. Over the past several years my passion and commitment has been concepting, creating, and delivering the best possible user experience, regardless of the medium.

With the introduction and proliferation of smart phones and tablets, the way websites are designed is changing. As more websites are visited by users of tablets and phones, your design has to accommodate a myriad of screen sizes. In more traditional web design workflows, designers and developers target a specific screen width, then let smaller devices invoke pinch-and-zoom actions to change the size of the page and in so doing allow visitors to explore your page more extensively.

One of the most impressive aspects of the interactive features introduced in InDesign CS5 is the way it visually resembles the way I work in Flash. Being a Flash developer for nearly 10 years, I construct many of my projects using multi-frame movies clips, animations, buttons, videos, and hyperlinked text.
