What is Airtight Interactive?

Updated

Airtight Interactive (airtight.cc) is the personal portfolio site of Felix Turner, a Los Angeles-based creative technologist. It presents his front-end development and prototyping work with JavaScript, WebGL, and GLSL shaders, alongside selected client projects, personal demos, background, awards, and contact details. It is a portfolio and professional profile, not a product or service you sign up for.

Who is behind the site

Felix Turner describes himself as a creative technologist working in front-end development and prototyping, with a focus on building innovative and fun experiences. His listed skills include JavaScript, WebGL, GLSL shaders, prototyping, UI design, and tech leadership, plus experience with Unity, Swift, Processing, and C++. He previously worked at Tool, Brightcove, R/GA, and Huge, and graduated in Computer Science from University College London.

He also states that he has personally built web apps used by millions of people, including Mosh-Pro and Juicebox, and that he creates generative visuals and live audio-reactive music visualizers under the name Uberviz.

What you will find on the site

The site is organized around a few clear sections:

  • Featured Work — a selection of recent client projects, with names including Mosh-Pro, Little Cinema, Soul Collection, Unity Headphones, Yeezy Supply, Map of Runterra, Cryptaris, Userviz, Future Faraday, Maria Callas, and Airbnb Globe.
  • Demos — personal experiments with graphics and interactivity, such as Hex Map, Gradient Pills, Ctrl-Z, Ribbons, Nymph, Winter Rush, Shadertoy Explorations, Webcam Mesh, and Chrome Experiments.
  • About — skills, prior employers, personal apps, education, and interests.
  • Awards — a long list of recognitions, including Awwwards Site of the Day (three times), FWA Site of the Day (ten times), Cannes Cyber Lion, Webby awards (two), and The One Show Award (five times).
  • Contact — an email address and social links.

The page also links to a resume, an FWA interview, photography, and an older blog.

Who the work is for

The client list on the site includes Apple, Google, Nike, and Lexus, and the page states that Felix Turner is currently available for freelance and full-time work. That makes the site most relevant to:

  • Agencies and brands looking for a creative technologist for front-end development, WebGL, or prototyping work.
  • Peers and researchers interested in generative art, shader work, and interactive web demos.
  • Recruiters or collaborators who want a quick overview of skills, past clients, and recognition.

If you are looking for a software product, pricing, or a service to register for, this is not that kind of site; the page evidence shows no pricing or signup information.

How to use it

Start with Featured Work if you want to judge the style and scope of client projects, and with Demos if you want to see experimental graphics and interactivity. The About section gives the background and skill set in one place, and the Awards list is the quickest signal of external recognition. For anything further, the page provides a direct contact email and social links rather than a contact form.
