Living in the subliminal space between analytical and creative, Lucas Miller spends equal parts of his day in the syntax-highlighted geekery of a text editor as well as lovingly crafting layered graphics in Illustrator and Photoshop. He has created several corporate-scale applications (boasting a client-base of up to 30,000 users) while working at the University at Buffalo, including mobile-optimized food ordering systems and database-driven financial account management tools. When working with graphical tasks, Lucas specializes in color management and user-experience optimization to create scalable, visually compelling pieces that are appropriate for the project at hand. Current undertakings include Memeorial, an internet-savvy site which uses experimental means to push important real-world messages, and Marjor.am, a lightweight, easily adaptable communication server for use in indie games.
