My latest project is was for Carnegie Hall.
This site was developed with a little flash as3, javascript goodness, html and css.
Carnegie Hall needed a interactive event browser to showcase the events for their upcoming Chinese Festival. Utilizing XML and a little AS, Robert built a simple, lightweight, flexible and scalable solution. The final solution created a framework on which future Festivals can be built as well.

Citibase wanted to create a site that stood out from the industry. Something different. A brand that has decided to stand on a pedestal and shout a different message. FreedomAtWork.co.uk not only shouts that message, it introduces their location portfolio un-like any other player in the office suite space. That coupled with the brand warmth that Citibase derives from their actual clientele and this is one powerful brand presentation.

Robert Redmond is a pixel master. He has been active in the creative industry since before the turn of the century, working with interactive agencies and as an award-winning Creative Director in advertising and web design & development.
He didn't go through the motions when his career began, instead he hit the ground running with design work at Nascent State in Silicon Valley designing unique experiences for the likes of The World Trade Center, Gucci Group, Schneider National and Lexmark. He jumped on the Flash bandwagon very early on wth ‘TellTarget’ and has been developing unique interfaces and design solutions ever since.
While he has a plethora of experience with Flash AS2 & 3 he also recognizes when Flash is not the right solution and is equally experienced with JavaScript and some of the most popular frame works (jQuery, Prototype and Doji).
Since his early days at Nascent State he has run his own software company, worked as a Creative Director in advertising, Director of Multi-Media and Flash Development and as a strategy, user interface and brand expert. He has amassed a client list upwards of 80 brands.
With such a vast experience base he's gained integral knowledge in the luxury, real-estate, fashion, beverage, travel industries as well as practiced a wide array of applications from branding, strategy, design and promotions to logistics, architecture and development.
He sees every challenge as an opportunity to expand the minds of consumers and create breakthrough content delivery mechanisms, ultimately effecting and changing the landscape of digital media.
Robert Nelson Redmond earned his BFA from Parsons’s School of Design and is still actively pursuing his Masters in “life”. He lives in hills of the lower Hudson Valley with his equally creative costume-designer wife.
