About

Good work does not require a suit and tie.

Barefoot Design Lab is the creative web and graphics division of Gulfnet. It was built around a simple idea: clients should receive modern, thoughtful digital work without an impersonal agency experience. The style is relaxed, the communication is direct, and the finished work is professional.

The name comes from a real uniform: flip-flops, most days.
