Testimonials

“Wow, I met Darris many years ago when I was just starting out in the entertainment business at Motown. I've had the pleasure of watching his career grow while mine was doing the same. Darris is an incredibly talent, borderline genius. Half the time, I never understood a word of what he was talking about because it was just beyond my understanding of New media. In fact, he was doing new media, before it was called new media. Anyway, Darris has gone on to do a great many wonderful things in the New media arena and I'm very proud to say that I would recommend him in a heart beat to work on most any creative project that came across my desk. While he has my recommendation, his resume speaks for itself.”
