      Jul 1997 - now
      Creative Director

      Stream Interactive was incorporated in 1997 to design, build, and deploy CD-ROM and touch screen interactive presentations for small to medium sized companies. Initially this sort of work was pursued until the emergence of the Internet changed the focus to Web-only development.Stream's skill set was then refocussed to Web, learning hands-on for many years as the industry matured, culminating in the development of it's own Web platform, streamSWEET. streamSWEET features self-manage capability, built-in SEO, it promotes rapid delivery of functional and professionally designed web sites. The CMS system is very easy to use, offering simple self-managed content editing and a suite of clip-on modules for special needs. It can easily integrate web services, custom database needs, custom business logic, legacy systems, data sharing and document management.As the Creative Director of Stream, I have full responsibility for the design of all web applications that we undertake, this includes: site wireframes, content gathering, client liaison, initial sketches, photoshop mock-ups, full HTML and CSS page construction, user interface design and testing. I provide the programming team with 'end of line' HTML shells for them to integrate into the streamSWEET environment. Show less
