About Me

My name is Richard Denton. I specialize in crafting beautiful, professional websites. Every page I create utilizes the latest W3C web standards, resulting in strong, equal performance across all major browsers. All of my websites are lovingly hand coded.

My tools of the trade include Pixelmator for designing the visual elements of my sites and TextWrangler for writing the HTML and CSS that bring it all together. I also put my modeling skills to use on occasion under Maya to create dazzling three-dimensional animations. My talents are not limited to the web, however. Below is a list of my top software and platform proficiencies.

My Background

What began at a young age as an infatuation with computer programming led to a degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Throughout my 4 years of study, I became increasingly interested in the development of video games. From level design to scripting, I was able to pick up a lot outside of my areas of expertise. By graduation, I had been involved in numerous gaming-related firsts on my campus. I received my Bachelors in Electronic Media, Arts, and Communication in 2007.

Present

Today, I reside in sunny Los Angeles, California. I began my way up the industry ladder working for the quality assurance department at Activision. When that didn't take off, I decided to go it alone and begin freelancing. I now work out of my home creating brilliant web and print designs for a variety of clients.

Have a look around my site. If anything intrigues you or if you are looking for a designer with my skill set, do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
