Kevin Ard - "Top-Shelf Flash Guy, that's what the Numbers Say. - Freelance Website / Graphic Designer, United States"

I've spent the past x-number of years developing myself as a designer. My goal, at the onset, was to be limited only by what modern technology can or cannot do. I followed a very logical, well-engineered path of developing the creative, the technical, and the personal; repeating every step along the way. Now, at only 23 years old, I'm nearing full-circle. I suppose that's the benefit of engineering, as opposed to haphazard construction. 4/C Static (Print) Design was the start of it all....

I followed a very logical, well-engineered path of developing the creative, the technical, and the personal; repeating every step along the way. Now, at only 23 years old, I'm nearing full-circle. I suppose that's the benefit of engineering, as opposed to haphazard construction.

4/C Static (Print) Design was the start of it all.
Web Development & Interactive was the product of wishing I could make the paper talk.
3D animation & Rendering is what I found when I stripped Interactive development of its interactivity, then beefed it up all over again.
Application Development has come to be, thanks to Adobe's advent of the AIR platform; which lets me apply my knowledge of the Flash API to local systems.
JavaScript has now entered the arena. Not in and of itsself, though; more as an extension to my Flash projects.

And what do I have to show for it?

A few all-time best oDesk exam scores, a few second-bests, and a string of five-star feedbacks.
Maybe I've turned into that guy who's messing up the grading curve, maybe I'm just a part-time bar-raiser.

Either way, the numbers say I'm good.
