I like to walk into people's lives
-
and show them a different angle, show them a different perspective.
-
The industry I work in it's marketing, advertising,
-
basically.
-
What I have been specializing in the last few years
-
is rich media.
-
It's a great combination of all the things I really
-
like doing-- storytelling, animation, graphic design,
-
different people, different situations,
-
different locations.
-
That's where I get my inspiration from.
-
Don't get too comfortable.
-
I had a really happy childhood.
-
My parents let me do whatever I wanted to do.
-
Playing "Dungeons & Dragons" was cool.
-
There was so much freedom to explore these worlds.
-
Being dyslexic forces you in other areas.
-
So, for instance, I couldn't write and read very well,
-
but I was able to draw.
-
Oh hey, look-- old storyboards.
-
Memory lane.
-
When I came from art school, basically the only option
-
at the time was Flash animation.
-
So for me, that was a really good opportunity.
-
When I started doing rich media, I
-
didn't even know what rich media was.
-
You see it everywhere.
-
I mean, it's like the upgraded version of your banner ads.
-
I was overseeing a lot of mastheads for YouTube.
-
And at some point, Google asked me,
-
do you want to participate in one of our beta programs
-
for Google Web Designer?
-
I was like, yeah, sure.
-
You know, I'll try it.
-
Initially, I sent a pretty long list of stuff
-
that I felt was missing.
-
And they were like, wow.
-
So we started collaborating.
-
And here I am.
-
HTML5 is a mix of several technologies.
-
We can do really immersive storytelling.
-
And people can explore this content in a more enjoyable way
-
than it was before.
-
What's great with HTML5 is that it opens the door to mobile.
-
That's always been very hard to actually publish
-
interactive content on the mobile phone,
-
which you would need a big team.
-
Now, all of a sudden, with Google Web Designer,
-
you're able to do this just by yourself.
-
HTML5 will take us into an unknown universe that
-
is just waiting to be explored.
-
It opens up doors to new places.
-
In the future, I guess I want to make
-
more independent productions, even use
-
the techniques I've learned and utilize them
-
in a different way.
-
We'll see how that works out.
