J. Matt Randall’s Summary
I got into doing web design about 9 or 10 years ago, running my own relatively successful Final Fantasy fan-site "FFArena" with a forum which powered an interactive RPG-style online video game / social network, which was similar to Mafia Wars in many aspects but this was six years before MySpace even existed and DSL was starting to become popular.
Since those days, I have expanded my horizons to include graphic design, advertising, photography, illustration, UI and game design, mobile apps, motion graphics, etc. I have worked for Electronic Arts and a handful of other design and interactive media studios. I am currently in my senior year at art & design school here in Sarasota, FL where I run my own freelance design business.
