Why KITONGA-ICT

Built for clients who need it perfect, and need it now.

Three commitments shape every brief that leaves the studio.

01

Fast turnaround, on purpose

Brief in via WhatsApp, work starts within the hour during studio time. Most jobs ship inside 24 hours — without rushing the craft.

02

Pixel-perfect, every time

Print-ready specs, vector scaling, color-managed exports. Nothing leaves the studio half-baked or half-checked.

03

One studio, end-to-end

From the first concept to the printer hand-off — one team handling design, retouch, motion and delivery. No hand-offs, no excuses.

What we craft

About KITONGA-ICT

A small Nairobi studio, obsessive about the small things.

KITONGA-ICT is a three-person design studio working out of Nairobi. We make posters, identities, retouched photography, decks, packaging and small web builds — mostly for founders, marketing leads and creative directors who can't afford to wait two weeks for a deck. Brief in via WhatsApp, get a reply within the hour during studio time, get the work back the same day for most jobs.

A small team, on purpose

Three creatives, one printer, and a quiet WhatsApp inbox. We stay small so the work stays sharp — no agency hand-offs, no junior swap-outs mid-project.

Studio standard, on every brief

A single CV gets the same color-managed export, the same proof check, and the same hand-finishing as a full identity rollout. One bar, every time.

Long-haul partner, not a vendor

Most of our clients have been with us 2+ years. We learn the brand, build the templates, and end up shaving days off every future brief.

Words from the room

The clients we work with come back.

Real briefs, real outcomes. Here's what they say.

Brief in at 9 AM on WhatsApp, print-ready poster by lunch. Twice. The turnaround alone makes them irreplaceable.

Naomi Mwangi
Marketing Director · Bara Capital

We rebuilt our identity with KITONGA-ICT — logo, packaging, the lot. Every deliverable felt considered. The brand book ended up being the easiest hand-off our team has ever done.

Jamal Otieno
Founder · Mzizi Coffee Roasters

I needed a CV that actually got opened. Three interview calls in the first two weeks. Worth every shilling and then some.

Faith Wanjiru
Senior Project Manager

The retouch on our editorial shoot was unreal — they pulled detail out of frames I'd already given up on. Color grading at this level is rare anywhere, let alone over WhatsApp.

FAQ

Answers, before you ask.

The questions clients ask most. Need something specific? Send a Fast Order — we reply directly.

Most photo retouching, posters, business cards and CVs ship within 12–24 hours of brief approval. Full identity systems run 5–10 working days. We confirm a precise timeline once we see the brief.

Click any 'Start a Fast Order' button on the site, choose what you need, and we open a pre-filled WhatsApp chat with the studio admin. The brief, project type and any details are formatted for you — you just hit send.

No. Fast Orders go straight to WhatsApp without an account. If you want a dashboard with order history, revisions, and downloadable final files, you can create one in seconds at /signup.

Every brief includes a collaborative revision window — fast feedback, faster turnarounds. Major scope changes outside the original brief are quoted transparently before any work continues.

Yes. Final delivery includes all working files (.PSD / .AI / .INDD or relevant), print-ready PDFs (CMYK, with bleed), and web-optimized exports.

We partner with trusted print houses across East Africa. We can deliver to your printer of choice, or coordinate the entire print run on your behalf.
