My name is Stephen Braitsch and I am an Interactive designer / developer living in San Francisco. My experience is mostly with the Flash platform but I am constantly experimenting with emerging technologies most recently the Java based Processing language and Objective-C development for the iPhone.

I've been working with Flash since version 5 of the program when I first discovered it in an elective class in film school. I started using it to create simple one page Flash sites (circa 2002) to promote my local movie screenings in Portland, OR and it wasn't long until I was hooked and knew this was what I wanted to do for a living. I've since grown with the platform teaching myself OOP design principles, AS3, Flex, AIR and a variety of popular frameworks that expediate development.

I also have a solid working knowledge of standards compliant CSS / XHTML, JavaScript, Ajax, Php, MySql, AMFPHP, as well as 10+ years of writing, directing, and editing Film and Digital Video.

I intend to keep this space updated with my travels, experiments, updates on client work and any and all other observations, adventures and life distractions.
