In 2011, I founded Beyond the Bridge Media in order to be able to provide a wider range of services to my clients through collaboration with other talented interactive design and development professionals. After much deliberation, Beyond the Bridge Media has been re-branded as Lone Nomad. Lone Nomad will continue to provide the same level of high-quality work that we always have.
