Sean Hopp - Web and Interactive Media
I have been using computers on a nearly daily basis since 1982, and am still as fascinated by their creative power and possibilities as much now as I was then. Working with a trusted group of colleagues, I bring over 15 years of professional experience to web and interactive projects, working across multiple digital media platforms to help a wide variety of organizations solve their creative and technical challenges.
