Holly and Josh King, side by side at home, smiling at the camera

The people you meet are the people doing the work.

We’re a designer and developer duo who help small teams make complex, high-stakes work easy to understand.

Hi, we’re Holly and Josh.

We’re Holly and Josh, a husband-and-wife duo who bring together creative design and web technology.

We take projects from first conversation to launch and beyond, and get stuck into information challenges, then figure out how to make it clear, engaging and sharp.

A good training ground.

We started out working mostly with charities, NGOs and social-purpose organisations, where the subject matter is nuanced, lots of people have a say, and small teams work to tight deadlines on limited budgets. Every idea had to work that little bit harder.

It taught us to get to the heart of something quickly, ask the right questions and spot what matters. Today we bring that thinking to small teams in any sector, from education and property to travel and tech, because the problem looks the same wherever it shows up; strong work that just isn’t landing.

Sharp enough to understand it. Human enough to explain it.

A brand that undersells a strong business. A website that needs to work harder. A year of data that needs to become a report people will read. That’s our kind of challenge.

Sharp enough.

We get our heads around dense information, funding asks and technical products, and find the message underneath.

Human enough.

We say it in plain English and design it so people understand it, remember it and act on it.

Sometimes that means making something complicated feel simple. Sometimes it means making it more memorable. And sometimes it means making it look so good that people want it.

We’re easy to work with, by design.

Zero layers between you and the work.
No account managers or junior handoffs. No meetings about meetings.
One unified design and development team.
Nothing gets lost in translation between the team that designs it, and the team that develops it.
Two people with you as you grow.
You’ll get the same two people in your corner for what comes next, design or web.

Whatever you’re working on, the last thing you need is an agency that needs managing too.

Holly King

Co-founder, Creative Director

Holly leads brand, design and creative direction. She’s at her best turning dense information into something people want to look at, whether that’s an identity, an impact report or a pitch deck.

Holly has 8 years’ design experience, and was nominated for the Golden Key Award for Information Design.

Joshua King

Co-founder, Technical Director

Joshua leads development and digital architecture, building the websites, portals and tools that Holly’s designs become. He also advises clients on the technical side, so choices about platforms and systems make sense for the team who’ll live with them.

Joshua has 8 years’ development experience, and off the clock, he once represented South Africa at tennis.

When a project needs more, we bring in people we’ve worked with and trust, from copywriters, marketers, illustrators and photographers.
