Hello. I am a social media specialist, web designer and developer. When not hard at work, I am probably travelling the world! More about me

Last Edited 24 October 2011 8 Comments

Heya. Welcome to the site of Darren Krape, an all-round web geek and relentless traveler.

At some point I will create a more detailed version of this page.

Suffice to say, I am a professional new media specialist, web designer and developer in Seattle, Washington. Right now I am the worldwide community manager for HTC. From 2007 to 2011, I was a social media strategist at the United States Department of State and, before that, at the World Bank.

I have a BFA from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia PA and recently graduated with a Master’s from Georgetown University’s Communication, Culture and Technology program.

When not working, I try to travel as much as possible. Thus far I’ve visited several countries around the world and intend to visit as many as possible in the near future.

This is my personal site and any comments here are my own and in no way represent my past or present employers.

    Is there a transcript/slideshow available from your talk to George Washington University class called “Cyber-diplomacy and the New Technology”?

    Hi Darren,

    You may not remember me, but I worked as the admin. assist in the Writing office for Jeff Ryder at UArts when you were a freshman. I’m more than impressed by what you’re doing now. I received an email from the UArts alumni and saw a blurb on you and my jaw dropped. Congratulations on all of your success–past, present and future. Knock em dead!!!

    Hello Divif! Yes, of course I remember you. No reason to be nervous, you did a great job explaining the exhibit. Best of luck with your studies.

    Best,

    Hi. Reading you article about the Westbank made me think about the possibility of asking You a few questions about social media in Palestine. I am working with NGO who are considering a programme in Palestine. If you’re interested, please send me your email-adress. Thank you!
