The studio

Small, senior, in Lagos.

We are a six-person studio in Lagos designing brands and products for the operators building the next Africa.

Studio Ova
Our story

We started Studio Ova in 2022 with one thesis: African challenger brands deserve the same quality of design as the best studios in London or NYC — without the six-month waiting list and the ₦120m invoice.

Four years later, we're six people, we've shipped 47 projects, and we've been trusted by some of the most interesting companies on the continent.

We take on 12 projects a year. That's it. We keep the studio small on purpose.

How we work

Four things we never break.

01

Small on purpose

Six people. We take on twelve projects a year. It's the reason the work stays good.

02

Senior on every project

The two partners are on every project. No juniors doing client-facing work, ever.

03

Strategy before design

Every engagement starts with a two-week discovery. We do not skip it, ever.

04

Ship, measure, revisit

Every project ends with a 60-day post-launch review. We measure the actual result.
