MetaState Studio is the web design and development studio of Lisa Bains. I recently relocated to Nelson, BC - a town nestled in the beautiful West Kootenay of British Columbia, Canada.
I have the pleasure of working with a wide range of organizations from across Canada, including: Hostelling International, Surrey School District, Burnaby School District, as well as a number of artists and small businesses.
