Over 12 years of experience in digital design

We’re a talented bunch who evolved over the years. We work a combination of remote and in office and have developed our own processes to ensure our projects are completed efficiently, whilst still ensuring the team enjoy working here at Strafe. We have regular virtual and in person socials as well as a quarterly big event to ensure the team builds lasting relationships. We know having an enjoyable culture is key to ensure creative and well built digital products.

Our people

We take pride in doing things well and we’re passionate about working together to achieve the best possible results. Sometimes that means making the most of tried-and-tested design techniques. And sometimes it’s about plotting a different path, exploring new technologies and testing the limits of what’s possible.
