HotHouse Utilities Library and Flash Guidelines

I led the development of the HotHouse Utilities Library and Flash Guidelines.
The library consists of a large range of components built by HotHouse that complete common tasks. These components range from simple buttons to complex video players. These utilities save time by the reuse of code giving developers more time to work on the creative “feeling” of the site.
The Flash Development Guidelines outlines the development of Flash projects.
The documents were important because it made everyone aware of how HotHouse build their sites allowing many people to work on one project with ease. Flash files were utilised for their ease of use, simplicity to update, and clean appearance.

HotHouse Company Culture

I organised the first HotHouse Ski trip which has now become an annual tradition and helped start and captained the HotHouse touch footy team, which has played in many company competitions.
