Digital & Web Design

Full website and product design covering wireframes, UI and responsive layouts, with dev-ready handover so it builds the way it was designed.

Campaigns & Art Direction

Concept-first campaign work covering art direction, key visuals, rollout assets and shoot direction, with moodboards and shot lists or on-shoot direction.

Social Media Strategy & Design

Social strategy and design covering content pillars, grid layouts, carousels and story sets, with templates to ensure month-to-month consistency.

Illustration & Iconography

Custom illustrations and icon sets drawn to match your brand's style.

Work that works.

Who we are.

A mayfly lives for a single, brilliant day, so it doesn't waste a second. Neither do we.

We're an independent design and marketing studio in Cape Town, working with brands locally and internationally across identity, campaigns, print, digital and social.

In our studio, the same thinking that goes into a global rebrand goes into a social media post, and the people who understood your brand in month one still know it in year three.

We're proud of what leaves this studio. If you're building something worth looking at, we'd love to hear about it.
