Charlie Miller: Designer, Photographer, Teacher, Flash Coder

I've been going to the Minnesota Flash Users group meetings off/on for a while. They meet the third Wednesday of each month at Easel Training in St. Paul

They had a great speaker last month, Charlie Miller a young guy with a Phd that teaches interactive design at the U of M. His company is http://www.braingiants.com and they have a lot of nice Flash modules that they give away the FLA code on their site. Great transitions and interfaces. Pretty inspiring stuff.

He is also a really good photographer. http://www.braingiants.com/photo and his interest in Flash leans towards constantly improving interface designs, especially for artist galleries.

Two of the nicer ones he designed and programmed are:
Japanese photographer http://www.noriomatsumoto.com/

And this painter http://www.jeffreyhein.com/

He also touched on this cool piece of code that is free
