Built From
Scratch.
Black Arrow Design Studio opened its doors on 27 February 2016 — built from scratch, built with purpose.
I studied at Vega School of Brand Leadership with one goal in mind: own my own design studio within 5 years. I graduated in 2012 with a BA in Visual Communications, spent years in the industry sharpening my skills across design and marketing, and then made the call. No more waiting.
I registered the business, earned our Level 1 B-BBEE accreditation, and BLACK ARROW DESIGN STUDIO (PTY) LTD was born. The name wasn't random — it came from a quote that stopped me in my tracks.
The support in that first year was incredible — family, friends, and business connections all showing up. Within months we had a growing portfolio and an extensive client base built purely on word of mouth. No shortcuts taken.
The plans are big. Black Arrow is growing into a full multifaceted design agency — and we're just getting started.
