Welcome.
I have been doing multimedia work for over 10 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Film and New Media,
and a strong set of visual and web based skills. This portfolio displays some of my best video editing,
web design / development , motion / still graphics, and photography work.
Take care.

  The redesigned central web presence of Fort Belvoir's DFMWR. A lot of time was spent listening and researching the needs of the Directorate of Family and Moral, Welfare, & Recreation to create an online resource that was: user-friendly, active, and inviting to its visitors. The soldiers, civilians, retirees, and families of Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

  XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP are the building blocks that let me give the users as much information as possible, while allowing me to efficiently manage the rush of user interaction, increased information and facility interest that came with the launch. A double-edged strategy of social media integration provided both community building and staff usability. This ensures that the web site, not only "looks nice", but is also the workhorse of the Belvoir DFMWR events and programs system.

  I was responsible for the planning, visual and brand design, coding, social media establishment / coordination, site SEO, domain management, facility feature planning, content coordination and promotional strategies of this project. I currently maintain and develop this web site for the US Dept of the Army.

  In development XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP based retail and promotional presence of Albuquerque Cupcake Creations, a Cupcake Boutique serving Albuquerque, New Mexico.

  I proposed and executed a complete visual and functional strategy for the web site. This included integrating social media applications from Twitter, Flickr and Facebook to allow the client extremely user-friendly dynamic content management. This system also provides a "minimum effort, maximum effect" strategy for social web marketing and search engine optimization.

  I was responsible for the planning, visual and brand design, coding, social media establishment / coordination, site SEO, domain acquisition / setup and copy writing of this project.

  XHTML, CSS and PHP based portfolio of James Fetter, a 3D Lighting and Composting artist working in the Los Angeles Area. I was
