The CreativeJS Team

Seb (@seb_ly) is an internationally recognised creative coder who travels the world showing off particle systems, games and 3D effects in JavaScript. A highly sought-after speaker, his recent CreativeJS workshop series sold out within hours. He also makes large scale installations like interactive fireworks displays and glow-stick voting systems and is comfortable coding across a wide range of languages and platforms. He co-hosts the Creative Coding Podcast.

Val (@vlh) is totally into design, type and code. She is a freelance designer and consultant who wants to see the internet stay as awesome as possible. Sometimes she puts pixels aside to draw letters and screen print, sew LEDs into things, and send lots of mail. She speaks internationally at conferences about design and interaction. She also runs a popular web design conference, Web Design Day, in Pittsburgh.

Paul (@neave) is an independent interaction designer and developer who is best known for the amazing experiments and retro Flash games on Neave.com. Now Paul is diving headlong into HTML5 and JavaScript — and I’d be prepared for some pretty awesome stuff! After all, he’s has been rocking this for over 12 years. And like the best coders, his focus isn’t on a particular platform, but on a desire to make the digital world more friendly, fun, intuitive and human.

Rob (@robhawkes) is the enthusiastic newcomer of the digital world. Wherever you look, there’s Rob! Whether it’s because of his amazing multiplayer Asteroids clone Rawkets, or his book on HTML5 canvas, you just can’t get away from him. And get ready, it’s only going to get worse: he now works as an evangelist for Mozilla and actually gets paid to work on his hobbies full time! He’s just been nominated for three Net Magazine awards.

Hakim (@hakimel) is a Swedish developer that loves working with interactivity, graphics and animation. He’s motivated by a need to create distracting interactive contraptions and obsessive about pushing the open web into unexpected places. Beyond tinkering with personal experiments, Hakim spends most of his time revolutionizing the way that people experience information at Qwiki.

Lisa (@lisamarienyc) is your guide through the ever-changing landscape of online video. Her clear way of communicating, coupled with her “encyclopedic knowledge” of web video technology has helped people of all skill levels find their way. As a consultant to video-based startups of all sizes, application developer, instructor, technical writer, published author, and sought after conference speaker, Lisa’s made it her life’s mission to keep up to date with developments in online video so you don’t have to.

Paul (@nrocy) is a self-confessed geek who just can’t get enough of new things to learn from, or tinker with. He’s had a weakness for 3D since his days of building software renderers and cobbling together POV-Ray scripts on a battered old 386. Should RSI loom, he can usually be found with a soldering iron in his hand. Or a beer. Occasionally both!

Paul (@aerotwist) has been making stuff on the web for over a decade. He is currently working as a Senior Developer for Fi in Stockholm. He’s also really interested in physics, maths and other nerdy pursuits. An incredibly creative person, he loves to mix code and visuals to make beautiful experiences. Ultimately he believes awesome needs no use-case.

Richard (@photonstorm) has been making games and demos since he typed in his first 8-bit code listing decades ago. Since the birth of the internet he has spent his professional life dedicated to getting the most from web technologies. He is extremely excited at seeing both these passions come full circle and explores them on his site HTML5 Game Devs.com

Tim (@twholman) is an Australian developer with a healthy addiction to all things web. Tim loves seeing how people interact with technology, and is even more interested in how technology interacts with people. With a degree in Games and Interactive Entertainment, he spends his time exploring new technologies at Qwiki and on his personal playground. Above all, Tim loves the idea of engaging the emotions with simplistic, yet powerful media.

Simon (@thingsinjars) is a recovering game designer who spends his time making educational interactives, handy tools and digital toys. As a Senior Frontend Developer on Nokia Maps, he is as likely to be found organizing Tech Talks as he is to be writing code. A specialist in rapid prototyping, Simon is always on the lookout for a way to do things faster. In his spare time, he moonlights as the tech side of Museum140.

Clinton (@iblamefish) is a developer living and working in Oxford. Owning a website before he had the internet at home, he likes to stay at the forefront of technology and push it to its limits. He has a penchant for visualising data, hardcore maths, and creating digital art just for fun. When not coding, you’ll probably find him riding—or ranting about—roller coasters.
