Rubin Postaer and Associates(RPA), Santa Monica, CA
2011 - 2012
Flash Production / Banner Ads
Working at RPA was a great experience. It is the largest privately owned ad agency on the West
Coast and I learned a lot in a short period of time. While at RPA I worked on a team of Flash
developers creating web based training for Honda and Acura. It was our job to make sales
training interesting and to present the information in an interesting manner for the sales agents.
Not any easy task but we did it by using animations, transitions and animated charts. Knowing
flash and AS3 also allowed me to work on building and animating banner ads for the Honda
Civic and Acura. A couple of the banners were what they call Expandable banner ads that
required some scripting in actionscript 2 and 3.
These are some of the projects I worked on at RPA:
- Honda Odessey Flash Walkaround – web based training
- Acura IDX Flash Walkaround – web based training
- Acura MDX Flash Walkaround – web based training
- Honda Finance and Insurance Flash presentation
- Acura Finance and Insurance Flash presentation
- Honda Civic Flash Banner Ads
RIPEMEDIA, Universal City, CA
2010 - 2011
Flash Animations / Web Designer / Art Director
Ripe Media does a lot of eLearning projects and I have a lot of experience working on training
and educational type projects. Working with the Creative Director I designed individual screens
for projects for Ford and Toyota that included Flash animations using Tweener, timeline
animations and some AS2 scripting. Included with interactive quizzes the results was a user
experience that was instructional and interactive. Web design is not unfamiliar territory, so when
Alchemy needed a website designed to complement their Food Lovers program, Ripe Media
was hired to put it together and I was instrumental in creating and designing over 40 pages and
screens. There were a lot of challenges but also a lot of fun.
These are some of the projects I worked on with Ripe Media:
- Alchemy Food Lovers website
- Ripe Tracker Bug Tracking Software
- Lincoln MKX Sales training program
- Toyota RIM - Car Service repair training program

Web Developer / Designer
Being a creative person, I am always looking for projects that will benefit from my experiences.
Ocean Ave. Studios is my company that I use for freelance work. Creating websites and helping
the owners promote and direct traffic to their websites using SEO and Google ad campaigns are
part of my sevices. Many of our clients experience increased traffic, which equals increased
sales. This of course equals very satisfied clients. Other projects have included creating 3D
assets for computer games (Astro Battle, Sherlock Holmes), 3D renders for a spine surgery
co.’s catalogs of tools(Vertiflex), 3D renders for packaging(Whitenoise), and 3D models for a

creative contributions come the business matters that come with having a small business,
again, love every bit of it. I didn’t do everything myself of course, I know how to put a team
together and manage a project through completion.

Working at a small computer game company that is just starting out was challenging
andrewarding.Being the creative person in the room required me to take on many different
responsibilities and wear many hats. Over the years I was credited on several PC games and

several awards given to the games and millions of units sold. Many of my responsibilities

environments, creating the global illumination lighting for each set, creating user interfaces for
PC, Wii and DS games. I also contributed to designing the packaging for retail PC games,
