Strategic Partners

  1. Luke Dorny Designer/Developer

    Luke has been dabbling with computers since the mid-eighties with the advent of the Macintosh and continues his studies at UCLA. Coming from a long print design background including package design, he adapts well to the world of web and has become a valuable asset to Airbag operations. We don't remember where we found him, but we're not going to let him go.

  2. Meagan Fisher Designer/Developer

    Meagan Fisher is a web designer who works through the night to create simple interfaces and well-written markup. When not conspiring with SimpleBits to take over the world, she creates web magic with her own clients. Along the way she has worked with Rails Machine, Halogen Guides, Airbag Industries, and MTV. She writes about her experiences, and occasionally about chintzy owl accessories, on meaganfisher.com.
