About: Matthew Keefe

New-media designer, developer, author and trainer with a strong background in application development for the web and offline platforms. Originally a full time Graphic Artist he found that much of the programming associated with his design work was being outsourced. Matt quickly learned programming for the web and uncovered a valuable, but little known skill set in this industry, that skill being, the ability to build a site, but also the ability to powerfully design it.

Matt has worked with companies/studios including Inverted Creative, Delphi, PhotoshopCafe, Kineticz Interactive, Organi Studios, EndYourSearch, Majon and Orcamedia.

Recently Matt authored the Flash and PHP bible. His work has been published in How To Wow with Flash for which he was a contributing author, and technical editor. Matt was also a technical editor for Essential ActionScript 3.

Matt holds an ACE (Adobe Certified Expert) certification for Adobe Photoshop CS3 and works closely on new and upcoming technologies from Adobe and other technology companies.
