Selected Work

Ideas brought to life through thoughtful design.

The Difference Is in the Design

AI can generate options. Design judgement gives them purpose.

AI slop
Event poster made with AI: busy, glossy and crowded with competing effects, fonts and badges around a book cover

Pros

  • Instant visual impact
  • Lots of atmosphere
  • Fast concept exploration

Cons

  • Too many competing elements
  • Decorative effects overpower the message
  • Crowded hierarchy and inconsistent type
Design with intent
The same event poster designed with intent: a calm terracotta and cream layout with clear hierarchy and the book as the focal point

Pros

  • Clear visual hierarchy
  • Typography and spacing feel intentional
  • Book remains the focal point
  • More cohesive and print-friendly

Con

  • Less immediately flashy
  • Needs strong layout and type decisions

Kind words

How we work

Listen

You explain it roughly. We ask the questions that matter.

Build a quote first and see the cost before we start.

Find the essence

We strip the idea back to what it's really saying.

Every project starts with a clear scope in writing.

Design

Clear, purposeful work, refined with your feedback.

Logo projects include two revision rounds.

Deliver

Files, launch and support, ready to use.

Final files in the formats you need, such as PNG, JPG and SVG for logos.

Build Your Quote

Choose what you need and watch your estimate update as you go.

All prices are in South African rand (ZAR) and exclude VAT.

Good to know

How does pricing work?

Build your quote above to see an estimate as you go. All prices are in South African rand and exclude VAT. They are starting prices, and your final quotation confirms the scope, price and delivery date.

How does payment work?

A 50% deposit is paid before work begins. The balance is paid before we deliver your final files, unless we agree a different arrangement in writing.

How many revisions are included?

Logo Refresh and Starter Logo each include two revision rounds. Extra rounds are R250 each. Revisions for other services are confirmed in your quotation.

What is not included?

Hosting, domain fees, Shopify subscriptions, paid applications, payment processing fees, extensive copywriting and custom functionality, unless we quote them separately.

Can you work to a deadline?

Yes, subject to availability. Rush delivery adds 25% to fixed-price items and is confirmed before work begins.

How do you price storybooks, book covers and data design?

These are quoted individually once we understand the project, such as page count, art style, amount of data and print needs. Add them to your quote request and we will come back with a price.
