Scott Heaps, CEO of GravityFree, a web design and digital marketing firm, enshrines his passions for family, music, pop culture and general irreverence in his workspace. Heaps is quick to point out that his toys don’t just sit on the shelf; he takes them down and plays with them for a break. And of his employees, he says, “There’s no one here who wouldn’t join in.”
