Pat DiNizio / The Smithereens

Pat DiNizio is the founder, principal songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist for the platinum recording artists The Smithereens. The band racked up gold and platinum records, and performed on top-rated television programs like The Tonight Show, MTV Unplugged and Saturday Night Live as well as on stages all over the world.

I worked with DiNizio on a number of multimedia projects involving him and The Smithereens, such as a custom database-driven website where he could easily add news, tour dates, photos and more.

I also worked on numerous side projects with DiNizio, including CD cover design; Flash AS3 animation; HTML5 audio and video players; promotional collateral; poster design and much more.
