Lightning Strikes Twice
We always knew our office was eccentric because it’s full of fast-food style sliding windows. But what we didn’t know is that the layout was thanks to a plucky internet upstart that began in the same office. That company’s name? Wikipedia.
Meeting of the Minds
A great digital strategy requires alignment at all levels of a project, from high level vision through system architecture to the end user experience. At Barefoot we emphasize communication between departments to ensure the coordination and agility that underlies successful products.
Trains of Thought
Some companies like to party, but we’re not one of them. We value the peace and quiet that belies productivity. And we would definitely never interrupt Allan just to take his picture.
Office of Things
As a leader in the Internet-of-Things space, our office has quickly filled up with all sorts of internet enabled devices. Having the devices on-hand helps with confirmation testing, however we generally create device simulators as well to speed up the development process.
Dream Boards
Many people use dream boards to visualize their goals; at Barefoot we use printed circuit boards. Dev boards are invaluable tools for prototyping innovative new technologies, so although they may not be much to look at, to us these boards hold keys to the future.
Meet the Branch Manager
This is Gypsy, reigning employee of the month 5 years and running. Her hobbies include monitoring server uptime and automating reporting analytics.
Calling Cards
Communication is one of our calling cards, so whether you’re an entrepreneur with a startup idea or an established business, we’re always happy to sit down together to discuss ways that digital tools can help your business. With over a decade of experience across a wide array of industries and technology, we can help put you on the right track.
