Several years ago, four gentlemen, all well-versed in multimedia production
and design, took a look around at what was being pushed upon the
public in the form of promotional materials and websites. What
they saw was often mundane or poorly-implemented, and the good
designs they did discover were often very hard to find. They collectively
said, "We can do better."
And FluidMedia was born.
Keith
Adams
Partner and Co-Founder
"The
21st century is starting to do something previously
unthinkable with technology -- to finally make it
fun for everybody. I've got no problems with that."
Keith holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems Analysis and
a minor in Music Theory & Composition from
Miami University in Oxford,
Ohio. He has over fourteen years of professional experience in programming,
database management, design, pre-press, computer graphics/visualization,
videography, audio engineering, and multimedia/web development.
Keith is the jack-of-all-trades in the firm. He designs, develops, programs, scripts,
produces audio, shoots and edits video, creates layouts, does voice-overs....anything
needed. He could probably perform an emergency appendectomy, if he wasn't
so afraid of hospitals.

Bobowski
Partner and Co-Founder
"I
believe that art and design are not skills of the
hand, but rather of the eye. When people say that
they cannot draw, I feel it's because they do not
understand what they see."
Greg is our all-around artist and is the principle design,
interface, and layout guy. With either a mouse or
a paintbrush in hand, his work is equally proficient
and brilliant. He's a chronic right-brainer who spews
forth creative chaos which the other guys can only
hope to distill.
Chris Foley
Partner and Co-Founder
"Design
and language are like music. Communicating
complex thoughts with an economy of tones can be a
difficult challenge, but it can be much more effective
than playing a flashy yet empty torrent of notes."
Chris holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accountancy and a minor
in Computer Information Systems Analysis from
Miami University in Oxford,
Ohio. He has over fourteen years of professional experience in programming,
technical support, project management, technical writing, and interactive
multimedia/web development.
The main architect of the CommunityBuilder
project, Chris is the primary problem solver in the group. Whether handling
backend programming or project customizations, he comes up with alternatives
when a problem is outside the scope of standard development tools. During
our marketing and branding meetings, he is the one to bring up such exciting
topics as "readability," "loading speed," or "return
on investment."

Partner and Co-Founder
"It
seems that the better technology gets, the worse customer
support becomes. We're not going to fall into that
trap. The best way to help a client is to communicate
with them, so that's what we'll continue to do."
Greg holds a Bachelor of Science in Political Science (Pre-Law) from
Miami University
in Oxford, Ohio. He has over twelve years of professional experience in
audio production, music composition, management, and promotion.
Greg is our audio production guy, promotional brainstormer,
and full-time schemer. He is always on the prowl for
new business opportunities and has gotten us many
contacts with his gift of gab and killer golf game.
