I am Scott Storey, a Production Designer who works primarily in the variety/reality side of television. I have a small design studio in my Venice house with 4 work stations. Design work depends heavily on computers and complicated software. Damien has built a smooth network, dependable back up systems and works space that can accommodate artists (not technicians). His attitude is fantastic and I totally trust him. and his tee-shirts are pretty smooth as well.

Damien has been my go-to “computer guy” for many years now. He has helped me through many a computer jam. Most recently I was on location shooting Survivor and my entire computer went down. I lost everything. Fortunately Damien had created an excellent back up system for me that I left behind for safe keeping in Los Angeles. Damien got me a new computer, re-installed everything I needed and got it sent out to me on location. I barely missed a beat. Damien and his entire team are reliable and trustworthy. I recommend him highly.

Most of us are used to software that runs locally – we use Mail or Outlook for our email, Office for our word processing and spreadsheets, and iCal or Outlook for our calendars. Google Apps, Gmail, and the Google Calendar duplicate much of the functionality of these desktop programs, but they require an internet connection to work. The engineers at Google and some enterprising independent developers have come up with a few tools we can use to more closely replicate the desktop application experience even when NOT online. continue

We use a variety of software and services to keep our business and our lives up and running. These are the heavy hitters in our list – the software that we use daily. In the web 2.0 world, not all software is installed and run on the desktop. The majority of this software is accessed via a web browser. There are several players in each of these fields, but these are the choices that work best for us. Get in touch with us and we can find the right matches for you. continue
