Multimedia and Design... tries to encompass "all of it"Website design, product design, marketing, brand development, illustration, animation, programming, video and audio production, product management... "renaissance artist" or "wearer of many hats" is more accurate, but does not fit the business "professional" profile.

Splatdash is the culmination of 32 years of experience in the working world of corporate marketing and media. Since 1989, the world has witnessed the rise and fall of the desktop publishing revolution, the desktop video-editing era, the dot-com growth and bust, and moved on to the world of PDA's and portable personal electronics... cellphones, instant messaging, iPods, iPads, android devices and games... What's it all about? Where is it all going?Splatdash is focused on the journey... "No matter where you go - there you are"Technology and art, functionality and personal expression, the "yin" and the "yang" that eludes engineers' and artists' "language barrier"... This is what Splatdash solves.We specialize in elegant solutions.
