My name is Kaitlin Bolling and I am an Interactive Developer and Designer.

I am originally from Jamestown, NY, a small town southwest of Buffalo, NY. I attended college at Ohio University in Athens, OH, where I studied Interactive Multimedia with a specialization in Management Information Systems. I currently reside in New York City, where I am working for MTV Networks as a multimedia producer.

I chose this field because I find a unique balance within interactive multimedia between the logical, technical side of development and the creative expression associated with design. I love being a ‘creative coder’ — in addition to being a self-proclaimed computer nerd.

I consider myself a “jack-of-all-trades” when it comes to interactive multimedia. I enjoy logical and technical development — whether it be front-end CSS styling or writing complex classes in Actionscript. I also thrive on the creative freedom that comes with design, and I have experience in interaction design, web design and print graphics.

Please feel free to view some of my projects or contact me!
