I have had an interest in photography since taking a college course on it while on a trip to Australia / New Zealand in 2002. Since then I have gone from Olympus and Kodak "point and shoots" to a Nikon D80 DSLR, which I love to lug around and take pictures with.

I have had a love for gaming since everyone's favorite classic Mario Brothers. Gaming really took off once my parents got a 133 mghz pentium custom computer when I was little. I was immediately sucked into the PC gaming world, and haven't left since. I started making levels on an early LucasArts game called Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. I really got into the editing and modding at this point learning the ins and outs including making my own textures. Next came Half Life and from there the rest is history...

Web

Of course I made my own web site! Development of this site took place in Photoshop with rapid iteration mock ups then into Dreamweaver for the actual guts. This site uses html, CSS, javascript (jquery, mootools - coda slider, multibox) and some php for the contact page.
This was a mock up web site that I did for EDP video. This project was put on hold, but may come around in the future. One of the goals of this project was to lay out most of the navigation at the top for easy access; no flashy sub menus, just easy access. The middle section was to be a "flash" video portfolio rotating wall.
This is a current project, phase2studio needed a redesign and this is the current mock up. Some elements in this mock up are not the same, especially towords the bottom, this was to show different ways of placing / breaking up objects for the phase2 team to decide on. Side note: this is a wordpress site. http://www.phase2studio.com



All web sites here originated in Photoshop. If passed they were taken into Dreamweaver for development.
