ISSIAH DAVIS Interactive Graphic Designer
Skills:
I am an interactive designer with over six years of design, and creative concepting experience working for
Myspace, MTV Networks, DNA Studios, BCBG, and LRN, all here in LA. I have worked in various
mediums including UI design, print, raw video editing and creating .flv’s, but my specialty the past few
years is interactive web design using Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and After Effects. I
have good knowledge of AS2 and HTML, and growing knowledge of CSS, AS3 and Flash CS4. With my
various hands-on skills I have completed projects for Viacom, Anheiser Busch, Wasserman Media Group,
Xanthus Sports, Warner Brothers, Universal, Sportnet, Federated Department Stores, and Mercedes
Benz. I am a good communicator, a team player and am ready to produce sites in social media,
entertainment, sports and more. www.i-davisdesign.com
