About

taken by Ryan Mendoza

Yes, it’s Anthony Tanaka (obvious from the URL?). A Developer, Designer and UI Strategist. In the past I have worked as a Developer for JibJab Media, Locus Technologies, Citigroup, Argent Mortgage (which was bought by Citi), as well as a designer/developer in the surf/skate/snow industry for O’Neill/Lost Clothing and Pacific Sunwear. You can find my current venture at The Big Juicy.

A few of the clients that I have worked with include: Shelby, UFC, Beach Bums, Pacific Sunwear, HardRock Hotel, Deep Dish, The Red Lemon Store, DJ Ksly/100.3 The Beat LA, Lost Clothing, UserPlane(AOL), JibJab, and Argent Mortgage, Hip Hop International.

I have also taught in the past at several High schools and middle schools, where subjects included simple web design to Actionscript.

On a personal note I am addicted to my wife Piseth, and her smile. My daughter Adrianna is the love of my life, and my stepdaughter Tidah means the world to me. I also love the Lakers, and do a some green thumb work, especially in the bonsai world. Albeit I still consider myself a novice.

I do some posting of bonsai/green stuff adventures at trayculture.com. Along with my sister, Amy Tanaka, we are creating a family venture known as ‘Inventive Roots‘, where we create wonderful green products with new, and used recycled products to make beautiful scapes. I also like doing some philanthropy work, some online examples are 21st Paradigm which includes CostOfFreedomFilm.org and LostDogsFilm.org. I have also helped out Green Long Beach!, as we need to look after our environment considerably. A few other Nonprofits I follow are Sea Shepherd, InvisiblePeople.tv, and Somaly.org
