Rudzinski & Budzinski: Brothers From Another Mother

Seriously, not a typo. Rich and Todd first worked together early in their careers at Digitaria, a mid-sized creative agency based in San Diego. Later, they reunited when Todd started contracting for Tragic Media in 2012.

After 11 years working collaboratively to build and scale products at a boutique software agency, Rich and Todd are ready to partner with you to help your business avoid a technology tragedy.
