A bit about the d’Vincians
We are artists, programmers, graphic and information designers, videographers and instructors. We are creative, humorous, sarcastic and satirical, melodramatic and theatrical, hip and old-fashioned. We are seldom boring. We all totally enjoy what we do. Usually.
Each member of the d’Vinci team possesses an array of skills that enables us to work on many of the different tasks involved in the creation of CD and Web–based products. Summarized below is each team member’s experience, and the unique skills they provide to our organization.
