From Idea To App Store
In late September, BR approached us about creating a mobile app that would add impact to our Compute Midwest conference.
Since they had recently hired a graduate from The Disruption Institute, we thought it would be a great opportunity make a collaborative splash, armed with the skills of:
- Andrew Rangel (iOS developer / Graduate, The Disruption Institute)
- Mike Berlin (Technical Architect, BR / Graduate, The Disruption Institute)
- Ryan Glendening (Digital Creative Director, BR)
- Matt Bowne (Creative Director/Copywriter, BR)
- Mark Schuh (VP of Technology, BR)
