I went to college for traditional art. There were no digital classes back then. I started my career as a photo restorationist and editor. Got my start at TakeTwo Imaging, which created image props and special effects for the movie industry.
We got our first computer with Photoshop 1.0 installed. Let’s just say, I found my calling. I soon started designing websites. A few years later, I dived deep into Flash. Those were the days, let me tell you. I started writing music and creating sounds for Flash. Did quite well, too! Won some awards for sound, music, and design. Yes, they are old, but I loved that era of work.
Other interests and things. I won Volunteer of the Year from the California State Senate. Won some design awards such as FWA, Cleo, The One Show, appeared in Belding Annual for design, got some Webby awards, MITX, and an Icon Award.

Music
I’ve worked on various music projects in the past. Although most have been personal projects, some were client requests. I’ve created some videos using Premiere Pro out of interest. I used video assets from Cotton Bro Studios @ pexels.com.
Hope you enjoy.

“swimtaxi” is my band’s music. My musical influence is bohemian pop/rock with a splash of folk. I was the reluctant singer, guitars, and keyboards. Some footage in swimtaxi videos has been repeated. Don’t judge me!

Home Studio Through the Years
Unlike in the past, hardware became an issue for me. Space and power consumption were getting out of hand, as well as cables and cords. Over time, I opted for software and Native Instruments KONTROL/249/n. Save a lot of space and time.
