VM DSGN is a purpose-driven, Afro-global brand design studio founded by Vumile Mavumengwana. We believe design is both a craft and a catalyst - capable of shifting perception, shaping culture, and creating value that outlives trends. Our work sits at the intersection of identity, strategy, and storytelling, grounded in the conviction that great design transforms human experience. As a multidisciplinary CoLab, VM DSGN blends brand design, creative direction, product thinking, and cultural insight to build visual worlds that feel intentional, modern, and deeply human. We partner with brands, creators, and organisations who are shaping what’s next - across Africa and beyond - translating their vision into systems, assets, and experiences that travel. Our guiding principle is simple: add Value + Meaning through Design. Whether crafting a brand, defining an identity system, or shaping a creative campaign, we aim for work that is thoughtful, resonant, and built for longevity.
