About Me

Hello and welcome to my site. My name is Paul Shope, and I've been designing and developing interactive media for 14 years... since the days of CD-ROM.

I like my job because I enjoy the mixture of artistic and technical challenges. It keeps both sides of my brain occupied and out of trouble (mostly).

I live in Rockford, MI, USA, with my wife and three kids. I invite you to drop me a line, just to say 'hi' or to see if I might be able to do some web stuff for you.

My best regards,
Paul Shope

P.S. Yes, there is a nifty illustration on the Portfolio page only. "Where are the others?" you wonder. I explain, "Did I mention I have three kids (please see above). I appreciate your interest and will have those up asap."

Tools (of the Trade)
