Sotira entrusted all public aspects of the project to Scott Jarkoff as an engineer and visionary to launch the early program. All three co-founders shared backgrounds in the application skinning customs, only information technology was Matt Stephens whose major contribution to DeviantArt was the proposition to take the concept further than skinning and more toward an art community.
