AUSTIN, Texas, April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DISCO Learning Media, a full service creative agency and educational consulting firm prepares to celebrate their first year in operation.

We've been fortunate to work with a great team of artists, teachers, partners, and clients in our first year - and we look forward to another great year of helping improve teaching and learning through innovative, design-centered products."
