Biography
My Digital Art career started to take off mostly due to my fame as Hoaks.iCE. I found employment as a Graphic Artist, Flash Designer/Programmer. 1998-2017 I did work for Disney, Version, NASA, and Chrysler just to mention a few.
I am a creative thinker who is always energized by a great challenge. I have extensive interactive agency experience working with large and demanding clients. I like being involved in projects from start to finish, and I am an absolute detail freak. My mastery of Macromedia/Adobe Flash as both a Designer and a Developer put my unique skill set in high demand. Since the death of Flash I mostly work in the Design world. But I do have carry over skills in Javascript mostly, which come in handy from time to time when working in the Website arena. . I can lead and inspire coders and designers with equal passion, experience, and enthusiasm.
