Our building is the family home of the first mayor of Barrie, Robert Simpson, built in 1874.
After Julie and Craig reviewed their business plan with a friend and colleague, he said, “You are digital renegades.” The company name was born.
Craig and Julie were classmates long before they were business partners. In 1990, they worked together on a mini-documentary for a school project. Julie was responsible for the content and Craig was responsible for the creative and technical execution.
They won an award for that project and realized that their skillsets complement each other. Thirty years later, it’s still working!
Renegade’s first office space was in the basement of Craig and Julie’s family home, until their daughters needed to expand their toy room and Renegade was evicted.
Our Lead Designer was hired after a spontaneous interview held in the Menswear Department at Old Navy.
