Joel Fisher’s Summary

During the last 14+ years as a Creative Director, Designer and Programmer, I have developed many successful, award-winning interactive solutions and products.

I possess a unique understanding of the creative, technical and business disciplines and how they're best woven together to achieve a desired goal, and the natural ability to effectively communicate those ideals not only to my peers, superiors and subordinates, but to my clients and stakeholders as well.

As the Creative Director of any project or team, I'm intently focused on the big picture without ever losing sight of the finest details. I define the scope of a project by its vision, not by it's bulk, and that makes me ideally suited to work for any sized company, big or small. It's been my honor to be able to put my skills and experiences to work for and with top-tier clients such as Adobe, AOL, CareerBuilder, Freddie Mac / Fannie Mae, The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and The Walters Art Gallery.
