Team
Known for creating many “firsts”, Normandy seeks out the best talent from around the world to create the concepts and content needed for each mission. As much of what Normandy develops has not been done before – or is being approached in a completely new way – the collaborative relationships are designed on each project as needed to launch.
Some of Normandy’s key colleagues on this page have joined on many projects over the years and, are available to advise on any proposal upon specific request.
