About Bluecoast-Studio
Bluecoast-Studio is managed by Filip daSilva, a freelance, Virginia based, designer and website developer,
who aims to provide, functional and individually designed websites that adhere to the W3C standards.
Bluecoast-Studio is my playground and creative outlet web space, a place to work where I don't have to worry about politics. In short my online refuge from the daily life of corporate design standards, proposals and presentations. After hours, I get a kick out of playing with my son "Tanner" and twins "Marleigh & Brady" and actually design sites that make a difference.
Who am I?
I am a father, husband, developer, designer, entrepreneur, basically an all-around-do-it-yourself type guy. Although I went to school, I am, like most web develepers, self-taught. Seeing the sheer volume of teaching material concerning web, I realized that there is nowhere NEAR enough time in one degree system, let alone a semester, to learn everything about this constantly changing, complex subject. I found early on that it would be up to me to push ahead and learn as much as I could. I continue to open and walk through as many doors as I can find to in order to facilitate the best way to present a subject or product using this vast and far-reaching media tool: the web.
Personal Mission Statement
With a trained background in Art Studio, an eye for design, and a passion for anything web-related, I've been involved in the new media industry for the past 10 years as a professional web developer/designer. I've gained a wealth of experience and knowledge in agencies of all sizes - from two-men teams to worldwide advertising networks - servicing a broad range of clients with a variety of skills.
I'm currently employed as a web developer with a local consulting firm. Latest projects include the design and development of high-end web sites accompanied by, database-driven CMS and/or CRM applications. My work is best described as clean, usable, accessible, intuitive and effective.
