ABOUT ME

I am Chris Zimmerman and I am 24.

The name "Big Picture" comes from my photoshop and illustrator instructor in school. He made sure to always remind us that every good website starts with a BIG PICTURE!

I am beginning my career in digital media production after graduating successfully from the Guru Digital Arts college in 2007.

Presently, I am able to provide Digital Media Solutions to meet the needs of virtually any client, with a heavy emphasis on web development. I am versed in PHP, XML, XHTML, JavaScript, and Adobe ActionScript. Whatever your website vision may be, I can help you realise it - without limitations.
