Walter Soyka - Creative COW

I specialize in design for high-impact presentations, motion graphics, and widescreen/multi-display.

I founded my firm, Keen Live, in 2006 to put my design and technical skills to work on live corporate events and productions. We are proud to help our clients convey their messaging with clear visuals, lots of pixels, and the coolest display technologies.

Beyond designing and producing graphics and multimedia, we also consult on production workflow and widescreen/multi-screen playback and display.

I married my high school sweetheart, and I spend most of my free time chasing my toddler son around the house.

System Details: We're a multi-platform shop, with numerous Macs and PCs. On the Mac side, we run the Adobe design apps, After Effects, Final Cut Studio, Cinema 4D, and Keynote.

On the PC side, we work extensively in Dataton Watchout and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Hobbies and Interests: I really enjoy business and marketing, which is part of the appeal for me in the corporate work that I do.

I also love baseball -- go Yankees!
