REBECCA:
Visual communicator * Design * Illustration * Branding & Identity
* User Interface * Immersive environments * PC Technical Support
Rebecca' first love as a designer is creating games, interactive
software, and art for children. She brings her well-honed sense
of play, imagination, and creativity to every project she works
on, whether designing a corporate brand identity or an immersive
art piece. Rebecca's interest in design dates back to her early
work as a photographer, when she became fascinated with the digital
aspects and interactive possibilities of the work. Since graduating
from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Arts in
Conceptual Informational Arts, she has been the artist behind
the logo and design of the Biathlon Web site for the 2002 Olympics,
the logo and clean interface at e401k.com, and the easy-to-navigate
pages of the nonprofit organization DanceSafe.org. She recently
completed a series of illustrations for Google.com that tells
a story using the search engine's logo. In her work as an illustrator
and designer, Rebecca specializes in creating brands and Web sites
with a consistent style, look, and feel. Her illustration and
design is playful yet functional and clean. She believes that
coherent, connected design is as memorable, if not more so, than
catchy names and slogans. Find Rebecca's portfolio at www.animevigilante.net.
REZA: Webmaster * Training * Macintosh
& PC Technical Support * Networking * Image Editing
Intrigued by the prospects
of new media, Reza created his first Web page in 1994 using Pico,
a Unix based text editor. The project led him to create, design,
and produce updates for a high-profile children's educational
site for Dole (dole5aday.com). He's been designing for the Web
ever since, and has since expanded his repertoire of skills to
include IT, Web production, and system administration on multiple
platforms, while mastering a veritable superstore of software.
A native of Berkeley, California, Reza has worked on a diverse
array of Web projects - from his role as Webmaster for the activist
site Dancesafe.org to designing and producing Web sites for Capital
Advantage, Inc. In all his projects, Reza is able to merge the
form of design with the function of software platforms. Reza brings
to his clients a rich palate of skills, years of experience working
on the Web, and that hard-to-find combination of both back-end
and front-end knowledge. Reza's resume
and portfolio.
