Paul Deisinger’s Summary

It all started with the finger paints I think...

I suppose I was destined to be in the world of art and design from the very start. Both my parents are very artistic, and due to that heredity and DNA thing, well, here I am. That combination of DNA created Paul M. Deisinger, around 30-some years ago and has been mutating into ever stranger forms and abberations ever since.

With over twelve years in the web design and development industry I have developed a wide variety of skills and knowledge in many different environments including corporate, agency; both advertising and interactive, and as freelance contractor. This experience includes project work for Nextel, General Motors, Disney, Borders Books & Music, Merrill Lynch, Delta Faucets and Chrysler Corporation to name a few.

I am available for both full-time contract and freelance work, thanks for stopping by.
