Brie is a film nut and she has a head for comics, too. And films about comic book heroes? Don’t even get her started. Besides interesting takes on the latest movie releases, Brie contributes with her template coding skills in HTML, PHP, CSS, and graphic design. She is attending Emily Carr University of Art + Design and brings a previous diploma in Media Business Management to the team.
Marcus is our cool influence. He can sense a nuance in the scene, pick it up, and roll right along with it. Besides building websites, Marcus’ other life is as a professional musician with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. He has a Masters Degree from Juilliard School of Music in New York and over the past several years has been expanding his skills into electronic music, programming, and building digital improvisation tools.
Michael is our coder extraordinaire. Although we can’t lay claim to his skills exclusively, he drops in as needed to make the magic happen when some algorithmic heavy lifting is required. Michael also works on projects for the video game industry and film special effects houses. His credentials include a number of AAA video game titles and a degree in Computer Science from UBC.
