The Bare Conductive team was brought together through a common love of experimentation and exploration.

Bare Conductive Ltd. focuses on the development and manufacture of electrically conductive materials. In the fall of 2011, Bare launched its first product, Bare Paint. This is the first non-toxic conductive paint aimed at individuals interested in engaging with interactive electronics and in bringing surfaces to life. Bare's products provide users with an exciting platform perfect for prototyping, experimenting, and learning about electronics. The Company's goal is to engage people of all ages with electronics and technology. Bare Conductive Ltd. was founded by four postgraduate students from the Innovation Design Engineering Course at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London. The Company received an Honorable Mention at the Prix ARS Electronica in 2010, and won the Technology Strategy Board's 2011 Disruptive Solutions competition. At Bare, the team is passionate about working alongside makers, hobbyists, artists, geeks, and engineers to develop innovative applications for Bare Paint.

Bare Conductive is growing quickly and is currently seeking committed investors. If you would like more information on this please contact roger@bareconductive.com
 

THE TEAM

Matt Johnson

Matt is a bit of a designer and a bit of an engineer and most comfortable being split between the two. At Bare, Matt likes to split his time between talking to people about the products and sitting at the bench playing with a pot of Bare Paint and a pile of kit.

Isabel Lizardi

With a background in Crafts and Communication Design, Isabel is constantly thinking of new ways of making electronics intuitive and accessible to people from all walks of life. She is happiest when explaining how Bare Paint works to children or octogenarians.

Bibi Nelson

Bibi is an experienced project manager with several years of practice with international clients at Jason Bruges Studio. At Bare she juggles her time between making sure the studio runs smoothly, and developing tutorials involving paper crafts and Bare Paint.

Becky Pilditch

Before founding Bare, Becky trained as a Mechanical Engineer and specialized in experimental design, practicing an opportunistic approach to the creation of prosthetics. When not in her lab coat, Becky can usually be found developing kits to demonstrate the many uses of Bare Paint.
