designer & developer olly gore : FLASH | AS3 | Cheltenham | Bristol

V2i was based in my hometown of Cheltenham. I initially worked on HTML / CSS builds, moving on to bigger projects that honed my Flash/AS3 skills. I was responsible for specifying and building the 'Karndean Interactive Showhome' and the 'Businesslink Presenter' apps, both built using Flash/AS3 and XML.

TDA represented a massive step up in the size of the agency, clients and budgets. During my time at TDA I worked on many high profile integrated projects, contributing design, flash, frontend and server side code.

After impressing at a pitch brainstorm for one of our largest clients, I was invited onto the pitch team as the digital creative. My role was to work with the offline team from the initial brief to integrate the offering as creatively and tightly as possible. It was my responsibility to come up with concepts, draw up scamps and present them to the board. When the concept had been decided, I would then bring the ideas to life ready for the pitch. I worked on 5 pitches all for big brands, with an 80% success rate.

I have been trading as !goreblimey since the beginning of 2011, offering freelance digital creative, design and development.
