Our Company

Cazoobi Limited is a software company based in the North East of England. It was founded by Norm Sheeran in 2010 as an outlet for all of his creative ideas, these ideas quickly became products that are now used all over the world by some of the industries top designers and developers. Cazoobi has grown into a small team working on amazing apps for the Mac and iPad.

Norm is the talented designer and developer at Cazoobi. He lives and breathes design and is completely self taught. He came up with the idea for Blocs in 2014 whilst on a family holiday. His eureka moment came early one morning when watching his 7 year old nephew build amazing landscapes and structures in the game MineCraft. Norm saw the game as a 3D design tool simplified to a level where children can create with it. This inspired Norm to do something similar but for the web. Blocs was created and this is now the company flagship product.
