About
I'm a designer and developer/prototyper located in Boston, MA. I love bringing new ideas to life, testing older ones for potential improvement, and deploying user-centered design with a great attention to consistency and to detail. I have a great sense of visual balance, layout, color, typography, and proportion. I am a very creative problem solver, I enjoy asking, "what if", and then setting out to make wonderful things.
Projects
Helped design and prototype the VideoWave remote control and the television user interface - which dynamically accommodated all source input functionality. Since the official page is no longer accessible, I have linked to a video showcasing the remote and the user interface. Here is another video showcasing the user interface.

Half of Flash is AUDIO, not just visual: Don't let bad sound ruin your great looking Flash site. Flash Audio Magic is organized into six projects-based sections, each of which contains several stepped-through tutorials for mastering a critical component of creating and integrating audio with Flash. These six sections are followed by four appendices completely covering the myriad resources on the book's CD and how to use them, keyboard shortcuts, bibliography (books and web sites), and more. The CD-ROM includes trail version of Flash, ACID Pro 3.0, copy of ACID Xpress, Vegas Audio 2.0, SoundForge XP, 4.5, library of ACID loops, FLA, SWF and WAV examples, list of online resources. Flash Audio Magic is not tied to a specific rev of Flash.
This volume offers a showcase of state-of-the-art and practical server-side technologies that produce powerful online applications when combined with Flash MX.
