Welcome to the portfolio site for Wayne Fidler. I'm a UI/UX designer and front end developer, specializing in the creation of rich, data-driven interactive experiences, with such tools as Flash/Flex/AIR, Javascript/JQuery, HTML/CSS, MySQL, PHP, AfterEffects, Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign.
My name is Wayne, I’ve been crafting interactive experiences since the mid 1990’s. Originally from Massachussetts, I moved to upstate new York in 1991 to attend Syracuse University. There I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 3D Animation and Video Production.
After graduating in 1995 I moved to northern California, where the original dot com boom was just hitting its stride. I worked in various agencies and industries until I was hired to create exhibits for the Exploratorium, a hands-on science museum in San Francisco. That experience sparked my passion for educational media, and I’ve spent a good part of my career pursuing similar work since then.
I consider myself to be a multimedia generalist, in that I’m adaptable to any number of roles within the development cycle. I’m comfortable doing anything from writing code to designing an interface, writing user profiles or sketching wireframes. As a freelancer, I also manage budgets and schedules, making me a project manager by default as well.
After a decade in Portland, Oregon, I’m once again living and working in beautiful northern California. When I’m not working, I’m hanging out with my family, camping and hiking the incredible terrain of the American West.
Thanks for stopping by!
