The people behind Knotty
We are a small studio, so you deal with us directly from the first chat to the finished project. Natasha looks after the design and the marketing. Adam builds the websites and apps that bring it to life.

Bringing the threads together.
One small team for all of it, so your brand looks and sounds the same from the first job to the fiftieth.
Digital
Designed and built in-house, so the site you sign off is the site you get.
Websites, web apps, dashboards, UI systems
Brand
A look that still works on a business card, a website and a Facebook post.
Logos, identity systems, brand guidelines, visual language
Publication
Long, dense documents laid out so people actually read them.
Reports, booklets, brochures, marketing collateral
Content
Social posts and campaigns that stay on-brand, even when you need them by Friday.
Social content, digital campaigns, marketing assets, content systems
Motion
Animation that explains an idea faster than a paragraph could.
Animations, explainers, motion graphics, interactive elements

Two ways to work with us
Project by project
For a clear piece of work, like a rebrand, an annual report or a new website. We scope it with you, agree a fixed quote and timeline, then get it done.
- Fixed quote before we start
- Agreed milestones and timeline
- Good for one-off launches
- No ongoing commitment
Retainer
Like having a design team on call. You get a set number of hours each month, quicker turnaround, and people who already know your brand well.
- A block of design hours each month
- Your work goes to the front of the queue
- Your brand stays consistent over time
- Use the hours on any of our services
Kind words from great clients
Knotty took our annual report from a spreadsheet nightmare to something we are genuinely proud to send to investors. The quality and turnaround were exceptional.
Sarah Louw
CFO, Verdant Capital
Working with them felt like having a design director in-house. They just get it: fast, precise, and without hand-holding. Our rebrand was in safe hands.
James Muller
Founder, Muller & Co.
The social content they designed doubled our engagement in the first month. Clean, consistent, and completely on-brand across every single asset.
