Lisa Larson-Kelley began her career in print design, but was soon lured to digital media by a little application called Flash 4.

In addition to hands-on development projects, she enjoys writing and teaching, with a knack for breaking down complex concepts and making them accessible.

She has authored white papers, tutorials and e-seminars for Adobe, editorials and features for StreamingMedia.com; and co-authored the book Flash Video for Professionals (Wiley, 2007).

Lisa has also presented at numerous industry conferences and user groups around the world, and is former co-manager of the FlashCodersNY.com study group.

She has worked with many video-centric start-ups as well as companies like Adobe, Microsoft and L'Oreal.

Lisa is currently consulting, teaching, and writing a second book, The Flash Video Guidebook. She shares news and musings about Flash video, web development and life in the big city on her blog, LearnFromLisa below.
