Kearabilwe Gereth Matlakala
Communication Strategist & Graphic Designer
Hi, I’m Gereth, a passionate graphic designer, creative strategist, and brand builder based in South Africa. Over the past five years, I’ve partnered with startups, entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven organizations to craft visual identities that are not only beautiful, but deeply intentional.
My work blends design with strategy. I specialize in logo design, brand identity systems, and digital graphics that help businesses communicate clearly, build trust, and leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s a bold new startup or a growing community brand, I approach every project with curiosity, clarity, and a commitment to scalable design.
I believe great design goes beyond aesthetics, it’s about storytelling, structure, and impact. It’s about creating visuals that resonate with your audience and evolve with your brand.

My five-step design process built for results
From Discovery to Delivery—Each Step Designed to Align Strategy, Storytelling, and Visual Clarity
Step 01: Research & Discovery
We start by understanding your brand’s goals, values, and audience. I then research competitors and market trends to make sure your design stands out.
Step 02: Concept & Development
I sketch and brainstorm multiple creative directions. You’ll receive carefully crafted concepts that align with your vision.
Step 03: Design & Refinement
Once a direction is chosen, I refine the design with typography, color, and style. You’ll get 2–3 rounds of revisions to ensure it’s perfect.
Step 04: Final Delivey Stage
I prepare high-quality files for print and digital use (AI, PDF, PNG, SVG). You’ll receive full ownership of your designs along with brand guidelines if needed.
Step 05: Support Growth
My work doesn’t stop at delivery. I’m available for ongoing support, updates, and future brand expansions.
