Interactive Projects

Big Top Productions:  1994-1996.  Big Top was an award-winning multimedia production company, and I am proud to have been a part of it.  As a Senior Developer for the Felix, Hello Kitty, and The Simpsons interactive games, I created award-winning products that garnered critical attention for myself and the company.  While at Big Top, I received the Top 100 Multimedia Producers of 1995 award from Multimedia Producer Magazine.

Fox Interactive’s Simpsons Cartoon Studio. 


"[B+] The Simpsons Cartoon Studio is more 'Woohoo!' than D’Oh’.” - Entertainment Weekly


"For the amount of complicated computer stuff going on — frame by frame editing, character motion, voice overlays — even the most computer-illiterate individual should be able to figure this out. The Simpsons Cartoon Studio is a very fun, relatively inexpensive jaunt into the mind of Mr. Groening.” - Wired

Producer: 1996-1997.  As a Co-Founder and Project Manager for Ooops, I consulted on a variety of interactive projects for US Web and Hunter Media.  And I transitioned the Big Top titles to the Fox Interactive label, after Fox bought Big Top’s product line.

I honed my interactive marketing talents in San Francisco in the early 90's in "Multimedia Gulch", where I got to meet Matt Groening and Don Oriolo, the creator of Felix the Cat.  For Bigtop Productions I created multimedia CD-ROM games that featured The Simpsons, Felix the Cat, and Hello Kitty.  

Image Smith: 1993-1994.  I began my product management work at Image Smith.  The Yearn 2 Learn series was the cutting edge of interactive edutainment in its time.
