OBJECTIVE:

The ultimate goal in 2012 is to land a job with a solid Interactive Media Agency ( i.e.->  RD2, Blink, IDEO or Mad*Pow ) that can take me to new heights in my career. I have a passion for HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Video these help me to create unique and memorable experiences. I am currently learning more about the Start Up scene and what it takes to take an idea into a full blown company. Although I have dreams of creating my own company with focus on Gamification, TransMedia, and User Experience. I value progress and hope to make a home with a company who can provide me both growth and unique challenges.
