In January 2000 we opened our doors as a graphic design agency, and although this stays deeply in our roots, over the years our services have grown and developed to empower your business growth through creative web & marketing services.
After years of working as a graphic designer for renowned brands such as Staples and Neat Ideas, Chris saw an opportunity to follow his dream of starting his own agency. In January 2000, Bubble was born.
