After the crash, I bought this domain and built a killer Flash site as my resume, moved close to NYC, and started freelancing.
Jim & Lenny found a project for me at Bigfoot, where I met my wife Michelle :)
In 2001 I officially created
Santoriello Studios
and I continue to lead the studio today.
2001 - 2004 :
The early years saw many familiar faces. I helped Jim & Friskel start
Woodstock. I helped Lenny start
Tribeca Tables. And I was recruited
to help
Munch
start their cafe, and
Pops explore their concept.
2004 - 2009 :
I knew Flash &
Actionscript very well by this time.
I started to get complex sales training projects because of my coding skills, like this
Roche DVD.
Then in 2006, Lenny helped me worry less about
money.
2009 - 2012 :
My wife joined the company in 2009, studied WordPress, taught me, and we built
this website.
We were always busy, but
social media
integration
was costly and a new expense for clients, Michelle left in 2012.
2012 - 2016 :
By 2014 I had a handful of clients on retainer, all of them were using my software to easily create and edit website content
(
SaaS).
It was a small business, but it was profitable, and I was learning.
