About Us
A Noble History
In 2012, Frank LaRosa was juggling an overwhelming number of freelance projects—thanks to his strong reputation, deep experience, and trusted network. Realizing the need for a more structured solution, he founded Noble Applications with a simple belief: outsourcing partners should go beyond expectations. That belief became the foundation of our “Noble Calling.”
Around the same time, Steve O’Brien—frustrated by unreliable vendors on a previous project—decided to start his own web and mobile app design and development firm. When a mutual connection introduced him to Frank, it was clear they shared the same values and vision. Their collaboration marked the beginning of something greater.
Today, with more than 50 years of combined experience, we build tailored solutions designed to meet your goals and support your mobile strategy. Our team brings cross-industry expertise, strong communication, and a passion for learning and teaching to every project. We focus on delivering clean, intuitive designs that solve real problems—helping you define success and create exceptional user experiences.
