Our Story.

808 is a family-run creative technology studio based in Australia, founded by Adrian Barrett with nearly 20 year’s experience solving AV design challenges. We are passionate about transforming spaces for museums, theme parks, galleries, hotels, retail, and immersive environments throughout Australia and globally.

“I always start the conversation with ‘What If’, instead of ‘No Because’, it always opens up more possibilities.”

Founded on a vision of blending technical expertise with creative imagination, 808 was born from Adrian’s desire to solve complex AV challenges for creative industries. Today, we remain a family business that values collaboration, creativity, and a hands-on approach, supporting clients from concept through commissioning.
