London design, Ruby on Rails, and iOS development studio
We've been in London for more than 10 years, operating as New Bamboo until joining thoughtbot in 2015. We've worked with great clients such as Red Bull, Walt Disney, and the UK government. Along the way, we created successful developer-facing products PandaStream and Pusher.

We’ve continuously refined our processes over the years, and even wrote a book about them. We’d love to learn how you do things at your organization and trade notes. Contact us to chat.
