For nearly a decade I worked in motion graphics and visual effects for film and television.
In 1997 I began developing tools to aid in visual effects work. Within a couple years I released a commercial product and built my first online store. I continued to work in visual effects for many years, taking time off frequently to further develop my products and websites. After having mediocre success with the software business and ready for a change, I shifted my career focus to web development. It is the perfect culmination of my skills, bringing together design, layout, user interface and programming to deliver truly useful and limitless applications.
I believe in good design from the inside out.

In my work I always strive to find efficient and scalable solutions, both on a visible aesthetic level and the less visible structural level. Good structure leads to flexibility which translates to greater ability to meet customer needs.
