Adorable Monsters was created not just to create new and compelling visual story telling but also to live on the edge where visuals, design, story telling and technology meet . As the lead creative and owner my role is to identify good stories that I believe are worth telling, develop them and find new ways to not only tell those stories in the old fashioned way but bring new technology into that story telling - whether it be interactive web applications, mobile applications, wearable technology, interactive architecture or anything else that can expand the reach of these stories as well as help tell them in a more exciting and current way.
