Design that works. Code that ships.

I make brands, print, campaigns and the software behind them, for companies, institutions and businesses across Zambia.

Design and code

Most projects pass between a designer and a developer and lose something on the way. Mine do not. I design the brand and the pages, then I build the website, and when a business needs more, the software behind it. That is how DRAMAC was made.

Outdoor and environmental

Billboards, booths, shopfronts and exhibition stands that are read from across a road and at driving speed.

Websites and software

Websites and business software, designed and built by the same person, from a portfolio to a full platform.

About

On a billboard by the road, a booth on a busy street or a handbook in someone’s hands, the design has to work there, not only on a screen. When a business needs more than a brand, I build the website and the software too, so nothing gets lost between the idea and the thing people use.
