The Fantastic Two is a series of web episodes created by Ironbound Films. Ironbound wanted a lively Flash site that was as entertaining as the show and that matched its exaggerated 70s era style. I created a virtual table with football trading cards of the crew that can be tossed around - just flip the cart over to see their stats. The vibrating football game with cast members as players comes right out of that same era and style.
Zobra is an accomplished artist living in the San Juan Islands. His work is rich in color and texture and this site reflects those qualities and, with a touch of whimsy, compliments his artistic style.
Slow Mo Erotic - a pop band out of LA - wanted a unique site to match the quirkiness of their music. Real photos of the band, rendered 3D scenes and the band's music were combined in Flash to bring the "puppet show" alive.
Montgomery Klash is an interior design firm in Portland Oregon, whose site showcases their past projects, and more.
Vibrant City is a green-tech startup offering self-powered kiosks. I designed and built the site and did prototype 3D renderings of their kiosks.
Art of Politics is a political poster design competition intended to engage people in politics, based on what matters most to them. Anyone could design and enter a poster on any issue. All entries were featured on the site and visitors voted for their favorites. Celebrity judges chose winners from among the top 30 who then went on tour. I designed the Art of Politics logo and site.
Allen hand builds clay pots and adorns them with organs, skin, and bones of animals, fish and insects he finds dead. As recognition of his work grew, Allen wanted a simple and elegant web site to showcase the beauty of his work.
QuipBoard is an online community letter board on which visitors can build messages which are then shown to others. My goal was to create an online repository, filled with brilliance and humor for everyone to enjoy.

An artist offering custom pet portraits, Licia Hauss wanted a site to show her work and attract new customers. On an artist's budget, I designed and built a site that prominently featured her work and let new customers' order portraits.
A life coach and an executive coach in Portland, Oregon, Rick wanted a clean, professional site that would appeal to his corporate clients and demonstrate a creative flair. His site includes custom-built blog and events calendar pages that he can easily update through his browser.
Portland Aikikai is an Aikido Dojo in Portland Oregon. I built a site that allows them to post news and events through a custom CMS.
A virtual art gallery built in 3D with Maya and coded in Flash. You can "walk" along each wall and view the art. Clicking on each piece gives you a closer look. Take a tour and see it for yourself!
Handmade stuffed animals! Friends of Socktopus shows the animals available and allows ordering.

How It Works Anacortes Washington, www.howitworks.com A business offering graphic and web design, pre-press and production services, and short run printing. While there, I scanned, color corrected, retouched and composited photographic images, designed and built web sites, designed and produced ad layouts, and did nonlinear video editing.

This was very much a production environment and it was here I learned how to produce quality work under often fierce deadlines. |
Asa Miller grew up on a small island in the San Juans, in northwest Washington state. The child of a graphic designer and a Montessori teacher, he was raised in a very artistic and open environment that fostered creativity. His mother grew the family's food in a huge vegetable garden and baked bread from scratch. His father was one of the founders of the Guemes Island Environmental Trust, a grassroots organization dedicated to the protection of the island.
In 1984 Joseph Miller bought a computer, and Asa was fascinated by it. He learned to use it, and from that point on, computers were a huge part of his life. At age 16 he put together an animated presentation for a local web and graphic design firm and was hired to do web design and pre-press work. He next went to work for a video game developer who specialized educational childrens games.
At age 19 he moved to Portland Oregon, where he teamed up with Sean Lawson to form Vivacity Productions, a web design firm. From their office in downtown Portland, Asa did work for major ad agencies and local businesses.
After several years Asa left Vivacity Productions to do freelance work, specializing in non-profit and political causes.
He currently lives in Portland.
