Who is eric toledo?
Born to a So-Cal all American mother and born and raised Mexican father, with one younger brother. I have lived in California mostly all of my life except for my first four years, which were spent in Hermosillo, MX, one of the hottest places in Mexico. Oddly enough I am not a big fan of the heat, go figure. Luckily I don’t have to worry about the heat since I currently live in San Francisco, CA.
I came to the city to attend the Academy of Art University where I am finishing up a degree Computer Arts - New Media. I have been working as a New Media Designer since 2004. One highlight was interning for hillmancurtis, inc where I did production work on websites for AIGA, Paramount Classics, and some video and storyboard work as well. The experience definitely increased my fascination with film. I have been working on film projects lately and trying learn all I can. You can visit my YouTube page to see some of my work. I also post videos on this site sometimes.
At the moment I am working full-time as a Multimedia Developer ( XHTML, XML, and Flash ) for a e-Learning company in the San Francisco area. I recently finished some UI design work for a flash game website, Kongregate. Fun stuff and loving every minute of it. They recently went to a limited public beta so that’s exciting, the game is almost live!
