Founded in 1999 Rom and son traded for over ten years as an interactive design practice. The company was wound up in 2012 after the unexpected death of one of its directors, Andy Cameron.

Rom and son was probably best known for building physical interactive installations in museums, including London’s Science Museum, the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill and the National Maritime Museums in Greenwich and Cornwall.
The company also built interactive retail experiences for brands like Paul Smith and Benetton and internet projects for Guinness World Records and Selfridges department store.

The directors of Rom and son, Joe Stephenson and Andy Cameron, had previously worked together as members of the Antirom collective.
