Summary
I do flash work. The right way.
I also create valid HTML and CSS, Digital Media Design, Identity, Logos, Wordpress Blog Customization, and can give finishing touches or adjustments to your project. In addition, I know my way around technology and do consulting for those investigating technological solutions for marketing, business processes, and data organization.
Although formally trained with an emphasis in graphics, I specialize in building data-based flash graphics and applications, not limited to integrating with existing databases, xml, or other data formats.
I also have spent a great deal of time traveling the world and enjoy working with those from other cultures. I speak English (natively), Spanish, and Portuguese with near-native fluency (though a bit rusty recently) and would be glad and willing to work with teams or individuals in the context of those languages.

About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 1997
Number of Employees: 1
I've been doing flash since 1997, when I took my first college flash class. I am trained as a designer but know my way around most web technology.
Payment Terms
Flexible, depending on size of project. I always use Elance's escrow, with at least 25% down payment. I begin work when down payment is released from escrow and entire escrow hs been funded.
Detailed Service Description
My education and skills are rooted in sound layout design, typography, and advanced color theory. I have successfuly applied those techniques in everything from in-store display design to flash animation. I am familiar with most web technologies and languages, though my strengths favor the design side of production.In my experience as a freelancer, I have worked with clients ranging from financial and investment services to personal portfolios for theme park artists. I consider myself a strong designer, and am confident in my ability to satisfy clients from diverse business sectors.I took a break from design to work in the Real Estate sector for a number of years. I learned that no matter what my income, I will not be happy unless I am doing what I enjoy. For this reason I have returned to freelancing, and am currently re-branding my business and re-designing my website.
