MaarifaStudio
Design & build studio · Nairobi & London

Software, websites, and brands, built with care.

One small team, start to finish. No handovers, no account managers, no losing the thread — the people you meet on day one are the ones who ship it.

The Nairobi skyline at golden hour
Half of this studio is here. The other half is in London, and the work does not notice.

We make custom software, websites, and the brands around them — and we make all of it under one roof.

The thinking, the design, and the build, from the same small team from day one to launch. Nothing gets lost in a handover, because there isn't one. We take a few clients at a time on purpose — and the hours other studios lose to managing themselves, we spend on the small things most people skip.

Two home cities, and clients wherever they happen to be.

Nairobi and London give us two ways of looking at the same problem, and the work is better for it. Wherever you're based, you get the same team, the same standard, the same care. The only thing that changes is what time we reply to your email.
