PROFILE
I have a diverse set of media design and production skills in TV, Film and the Web. And over 12 years of experience building multimedia and Flash web sites, including more than 5 years building an online kids community and game Flash site. I produce, write, project manage, design, animate and program. I’m a Flash expert familiar with all its many facets and uses, from art to programing. I’m an ActionScripter able to program in AS2 and AS3, and a producer able to come up with new and original ideas quickly and under pressure. I'm a leader, mentor and collaborator. I'm a huge creative and technical asset to any team.
