ABOUT

I took my first photoshop class in 1993 and it’s been all downhill since. I evolved that into time based projects in Director in the mid 90’s. I picked up HTML a little after that and finally when Flash came out I added that as well. My background is traditional fine arts but since 1998 I’ve been a 100% dedicated interactive designer.

I live in Atlanta with my wife Kay, who helps me with scripting occasionally, and my son Sam and our pack of mutts. Below is my history and samplings of the projects I’ve worked on / been involved with.

Thanks, Bill Allen
