Plug-In Post Q+A: Tradcode’s Peder Norrby

Studio Daily interviews Peder Norrby, Trapcode’s founder and developer. Read the interview here.

Peder says, “There is also a business-perspective: our goal is for our customers to wow their clients and make more money using the products than the cost of the products themselves, so it is turns out to be a very good investment for them. Good investments are always popular, and news of them tend to spread.” So, that’s his secret!
