Steve Klein
Creative Dev/Design

Eventide Studios

I have been in the IT field in one form or another going on about 13 years now, with most of that time spent in creative development and direction. For the last few years I have been taking on contract work and developing personal projects. I recently moved from Miami to Dallas and founded Eventide Studios, Inc. with a close friend. My company caters primarily to small business owners, however we take on large scale development/design projects as well.

My strong points would have to be graphic design and web development, followed by creative direction and project management. I am a great creative thinker and communicator, so some of my favorite staff positions were as a creative director. I have a knack for micro-management, which serves me well when creating and developing largescale projects. My borderline obsessive attention to detail allows me to see what others sometimes overlook. I should also mention my ability to walk the line of geek-speak and laymens terms, which assists me in communicating with clients on a level that most techies lack entirely.

In search of Seattle area job leads for part-time, full-time or contract work in the web design/development or web project managment arena. I want to move out to Seattle and request the help of all my fellow Bizniks!

I am Looking to network with peers that have similar creative dev backgrounds. I love to discuss and share ideas and I am always happy to give my creative input to help out others.

Skills: xhtml, css, php, sql, cms, seo, ps, ai, e-commerce, blogs, community dev, photography, copywriting, project management, network admin, blah blah blah. What hat should I wear today?

Most recently, I held partnership in creating and maintaining an online social community with 30,000+ members.
