    • BFDdesign

      BFDdesign

      BFDdesign’s principle, bradford has over 20 years of full lifecycle web application development and implementation experience, which began with the newly created E-Commerce department for Dean & DeLuca (a bi-coastal brick-and-mortar with a nationally distributed print catalog) building enterprise web applications and a multi-location, cross-channel team dedicated to establishing dominance in the luxury food and wine space.

      Drawing off the operational experiences from full lifecycle web application development and management of bi-coastal corporate resources, Bradford started BFDdesign with the foundation needed to build e-commerce for other companies–utilizing the knowledge acquired to quickly understand and implement different technologies to satisfy the unique business requirements of each new system.
