Figaro Interactive is studio of web developers who build custom web-based applications for small to medium sized businesses.
Cookie-cutter isn’t in our vocabulary. We’ve found that every business we work with is unique and interesting in dramatically different ways. As such, we spend time to get to know your business and your needs, and develop applications specifically for you.
We also get to know the people that make up your business, and what technologies and conventions they are most comfortable with. The end result is a custom product that not only fits your business, but fits the people that run your business.
Whether you’re tech rock-stars or tech newbies, we’d love to hear from you. A consultation is completely free, and you won’t be speaking to some marketing/salesman trying to close a deal. The developers who will build your product are who you’ll talk to from the very beginning.

I've been fortunate at Hit Entertainment to wear many different hats: Editor (Final Cut Pro and Avid), DVD Authorer, Graphic Designer, Tape Operator, Animator. Some of the highlights include editing a couple of interview pieces for the special edition of the Fraggle Rock DVD boxed, learning French and Portuguese with Bob the Builder and my first Barney wrap party (good times!).

I spent many of my formative years at KDAF (then WB33 News@Nine, currently CW33 News@Nine). I began as a part-time studio camera operator for the nightly news. Eventually I started editing news and promotions. One day, way back when, a certain designer called in sick (and the design director was in Guatemala!) so I jumped into a career in New Graphics.

My time at the Dallas Cowboys was eventful to say the least.
Bill Parcells became the coach... we made the playoffs with Quincy Carter... Quincy Carter got busted and cut... which made room for Tony Romo to make the team... which led to the current state of the team.
Oh yeah... during all of that time we launched a 24/7 broadcast network with Comcast. I brought in a lot of people to make it happen and we transformed the place from a post-oriented facility into a live production department. The workflow was intense - when I first started the job we only produced 2 shows a week - once we were in full swing we were cranking out 6 to 7 shows a day plus traveling to games.
It was a great experience - even if it was a bit hectic. Attending training camp, getting to fly with the team, going to Cabo San Lucas with the cheerleaders for their swimsuit shoot and launching a network were definitely worth all the hard work.
