About Superheroes
Superheroes is a multi-disciplinary creative and interaction studio, focused on integrated interactive experiences. Primary technologies include mobile, multi-touch, and social media applications. Superheroes is currently developing products and technology focused on the convergence of interactive mediums through unified interaction and the finest design.Starting Superheroes
I have always followed my instinct. What feels right almost always is. So, after seven great years at FL2, I have decided to leave to start Superheroes, Inc.A quick history: In 2001, I co-founded FL2. In seven fast years, with the help of a good friend and business partner, great employees, visionary clients, and steadfast goals built on hard work and long hours, FL2 is now an internationally recognized interactive agency with an amazingly talented staff and tremendous clients. I would like to take a moment to appreciate the people along the way to help me realize this dream. To my FL2 family, past and present, thanks for trusting in me to lead us to where we are. To my clients, thanks for selecting FL2 and myself to protect your interactive brand; it truly has been an honor.
Now to the future: For those of you who know me, I am constantly thinking of new ideas and projects, both technical and creative. Technically, my focus will be social media application development, mobile development, and offline interactive experiences. Creatively, I have also opened up a letterpress studio and public gallery on Broadway and will be having some really great creative events in the near future.
So here’s to the past - and to the future - thanks for joining me as I start my new endeavors and expect great things from me and superheroes in 2008 and beyond.
