Founded in 1999, Reflektions.com is an identity/brand that Paul Ortchanian uses when working. More concretely, Reflektions.com is a website, an experimental playground, a creative process and a vision that reflects Paul's current work and ideas. Since 2005, through Reflektions Miniml, Paul has posted numerous experiments and has lectured around the globe. His work and dedication to the flash community establish him as an industry icon.

Miniml is a site dedicated to breaking the complexity of todays Actionscript (Design patterns, OOP, etc...) by simplifying things. Miniml is committed in the research of creative coding and the deconstruction of complex, sometimes over-engineered scripts into simple and understandable execution. To create you need to simplify and then try to extend.
