Si Maclennan
Studio Principal, Creative Director

Two decades working across the gamut of the creative industry has taught me that the best work comes from genuine partnership. I embed myself in every project and become invested in its success, not just its delivery. That means honest input, shared ownership, and a creative process that goes both ways.

Ask me about freediving, and the incredible wild oceans around the Cape Peninsula.

Dedicated to ideas that matter
& the people who believe in them.

"There's a very real difference between good designers and great designers. Every time we work with Si, we end up with something well thought out and beautiful. If you want to work with an epic designer then Si is your man."

Bo Bissict
Co-Founder, Govchain

"Si played an integral role in working with us to develop the brand strategy and then blew us away as he brought it to life. Finding good designers is one thing, but finding a designer who can add value on a strategic level as they develop a brand is invaluable."

James Gilmour
Founder, Mary's Muse

"Si took time to really understand our company before creating something that worked for us. He listened, discussed options, and worked closely with us to create something we absolutely love. He's a pleasure to work with."

Chris Metcalfe
Director, How Might We

"One of the best designers I have had the pleasure of working with. Si injected the perfect balance of approachability, forward-thinking design, and professionalism into our project. We are now using him across all of our projects - he is an invaluable asset."

Tyler Golato

Maeve Bella Coleman
Co-Founder, Netcore

"Si is the specialist design gun I’d pull in a logo knife fight."

Matt Visser
Makebetter

Andrew Verbinnen
Co-Initiator, HairDAO
