2007 Graduate, Associate of Applied Science in Multimedia and Design, The Art Institute of Houston
“The field of multimedia is so young that we are on the cutting edge to push the boundaries,” asserts Darius Julian Portilla, a lead flash developer at 6FT, LLC. Darius believe that he is truly “creating the stuff of tomorrow” as he works in Flash and multimedia technologies. His job allows him to challenge his creativity while working with like-minded people with similar interests.
Darius finds inspiration in TheFWA.com, a website that gives out awards for website design. He also draws inspiration from toys, pop culture, movies, and music.
Earning an Associate of Applied Science in Multimedia and Design degree from The Art Institute of Houston was beneficial in preparing him for his career, he states. “(It) gave me a solid foundation in many disciplines. It also exposed me to many facets of multimedia that I had previously not known about.” Looking to the future in his industry, Darius believes that touchscreen kiosks and displays will become more widespread and that tablet application development will kick into high gear.
