Chad Trice

Co-founder and partner of Interactive Knowledge Solutions LLC, Chad remembers his first technical / creative spark occured when he mixed Garfield the cat and a TRS-80.  At the age of six, his first computer program plotted out a very pixelated image of the famous cat. That unlikely merger turned Chad's artistic interests from the canvas to the digital realm.

Having attended a fine-arts college for painting, furniture and graphic design, Chad began his first career as an illustrator creating drawings and design specs for retail products. With the dawn of the desktop computer he mastered the digital side of graphic design using design applications to produce product packaging and advertising campaigns.

Over the years Chad has become multi-lingual--mastering scripting languages, databases, code libraries, animation applications, whatever would transfer his design skills from conceptual to architectural. Chad has become what many refer to as a "hybrid". He represents the unique combination of artistic skill and computer savvy.
