About Cultural Bridge Labs
Pioneering Digital Solutions for Tomorrow’s Challenges
Our Story
Cultural Bridge Labs was founded with a vision to create technology that bridges gaps—between people, between businesses and their customers, and between current capabilities and future possibilities. What began as a small team of passionate technologists has grown into a dynamic company at the forefront of digital innovation.
Our journey started with a simple observation: in an increasingly connected world, the tools we use to manage digital interactions often fail to evolve at the pace of user needs. We set out to change that by developing solutions that harness the power of artificial intelligence while maintaining a deep commitment to intuitive user experiences.
Today, Cultural Bridge Labs stands as a testament to that original vision, creating products like VelvetFlow that empower users to connect, create, and collaborate in ways that feel natural and effortless.
Our Mission
To develop intelligent digital solutions that enhance human connection, creativity, and productivity while maintaining the highest standards of security and privacy.
Our Vision
A world where technology seamlessly enhances human potential, where digital tools adapt to human needs rather than the other way around, and where innovation serves the greater good of connecting people and ideas.
Our Leadership
Cultural Bridge Labs is led by a diverse team of industry veterans with backgrounds spanning technology, design, business, and the humanities. This interdisciplinary approach enables us to see challenges from multiple perspectives and develop more holistic solutions.

With over 12 years of experience in technology and innovation, Brice leads Cultural Bridge Labs with a vision for creating meaningful digital experiences that enhance human connection.
Our Approach
At Cultural Bridge Labs, we approach product development as a blend of science, art, and human psychology. We believe that truly transformative technology must not only solve technical challenges but also address the emotional and experiential aspects of its use.
Our development process integrates:
- Deep Research: We begin every project with comprehensive research to understand user needs, market dynamics, and technological possibilities.
- Iterative Design: We believe in rapid prototyping, testing, and refining to ensure our products evolve alongside user feedback.
- AI Enhancement: We leverage advanced artificial intelligence to create systems that learn, adapt, and provide increasingly personalized experiences.
- Security by Design: Privacy and security considerations are built into our development process from day one, not added as afterthoughts.
- Ethical Consideration: We carefully weigh the societal implications of our innovations, ensuring they contribute positively to the digital ecosystem.

Migration & Modernization Services
On-Premises to Office 365/Azure Cloud Transformation
I began managing and expanding SharePoint 2010 sites in 2012. Immediately after 2013 was released, I led the migration of tables, lists, flows, sites, and metadata to the 2013 servers. At the time it wasn’t as straightforward as it is now, and until Metalogix was released we migrated databases and reconnected them in the new environment, which limited efficiency for non‑SQL developers administering SharePoint.
Shifting from SP 2013 to 2016 was a major transition as an administrator. In my first contracting role I was introduced to the hybrid‑focused architecture. SharePoint 2016 was the first truly effective on‑prem‑to‑cloud environment. Many features were easier to navigate, such as OneDrive and Active Directory integration, but automated patching created challenges. Microsoft often released patches with bugs, which required time to test for compatibility with custom solutions in government environments.
The 2016 environment was also my first time serving as both a SharePoint Administrator and Developer, with opportunities to refactor existing solutions, add features, and clean up poorly designed code. This work led to an offer to serve as a solutions architect for a SharePoint 2019 upgrade, but I chose to pursue a SharePoint Developer role in Belgium. Before departing, I again used Metalogix to move divisional sites to the new environment and learned its limitations compared to alternatives like ShareGate (my preferred modern approach).
