About us

The people behind your brand.

A Watamu creative and digital agency with one purpose: to help businesses communicate powerfully, look exceptional and grow with confidence.

Our story

We started small. We thought big.

“Great design shouldn't be a luxury. Every business — from a street-side startup to a corporate boardroom — deserves to look the part.”

Designplus Solutions was born out of a simple frustration: too many Kenyan businesses were invisible — not because their products were poor, but because their brand didn't do them justice.

We started with a small studio in Watamu, offering graphic design to local businesses who couldn't afford big agencies. Word spread. Clients came back and referred their friends, partners and suppliers — and before long we were a full creative and digital agency trusted by some of the most ambitious businesses in East Africa.

Today we offer everything from brand identity and web development to printing, signage, SEO and social media. But our ethos hasn't changed: we treat every client's business as if it were our own.

We don't just deliver files. We build brands that people remember, trust and choose — again and again.

Our mission

To help every business communicate powerfully — through design, technology and strategy.

Professional, impactful brand communication for businesses of every size. Whether you're a sole trader or a listed company, you deserve a brand that opens doors, builds trust and drives results.

Our vision

To be the most trusted creative and digital partner for businesses across East Africa.

An East Africa where homegrown businesses compete on a global stage, powered by world-class branding and digital infrastructure.

How we work

Our values.

01

Quality without compromise

Every pixel, every print, every line of code is reviewed to the same standard — the highest. We'd rather take more time than deliver something we're not proud of.

02

Clients first, always

We listen before we create. We ask questions others skip. Understanding your business deeply is what allows us to make something that truly fits — not just looks good.

03

Honesty and transparency

Clear quotes upfront. Realistic timelines. Honest feedback. We won't tell you what you want to hear if it isn't true — we'll tell you what will actually work.

04

Long-term partnership

We're not looking for one-time projects. We want to be the agency you call every time — the partner who knows your brand as well as you do, and keeps it growing.

How we got here

Our journey.

  1. 2020

    Designplus Solutions is founded

    Started with a laptop, a design tool, and a clear mission: to give Watamu's small businesses the same quality of creative work that the big corporates enjoyed. Our first three clients became long-term partners.

  2. 2021

    Web design & development added

    Demand from clients who wanted their brand online led us to build our web team. Within six months, we'd launched 15 websites and were fully booked three weeks in advance.

  3. 2022

    Print & signage division launched

    We brought print and large-format signage in-house, giving clients a seamless end-to-end brand experience — from the logo concept to the billboard installation.

  4. 2023

    Digital services expanded: SEO & Social Media

    Post-pandemic, clients needed more than a brand — they needed to be found online. We built our digital marketing capabilities and began managing social media and SEO for growing businesses.

  5. 2024

    Custom IT & Digital Solutions division launched

    As client needs grew more complex, we added tailored IT and digital solutions — custom software, integrations, and tech consulting — cementing our status as a true full-service agency.

  6. Today

    150+ projects. 80+ clients. Still growing.

    Designplus Solutions is now one of Watamu's most trusted creative and digital agencies — and we're just getting started. East Africa, watch this space.
