A full-time in-house designer makes sense at a certain scale — but for most organisations, it means carrying a fixed salary for a variable need. With Panda Studios, you get senior creative output on the projects that matter, without the overhead. You engage us when the brief demands it, and pause when it does not. The work is consistent; the cost is not fixed to a calendar.
Turnaround depends entirely on scope. Smaller deliverables — logo revisions, one-page layouts, social assets — typically return within two to three business days. Full brand identity systems or website builds follow a structured timeline we agree on at the start of the project, usually two to eight weeks. We will always give you an honest timeline before we begin, not after.
Most conversations start via WhatsApp or email at hello@pandastudios.co. For larger briefs — brand identity, web builds, campaigns — we move into a structured brief and discovery call before any work begins. We work with clients across East Africa and internationally, so remote collaboration is standard. For clients in Kampala, in-person meetings are available at Span House, Portal Avenue.
A full brand identity project with us covers: discovery and strategy (understanding your audience, market position and goals), logo design and visual identity system, typography and colour palette, brand guidelines document, and application to key collateral such as business cards, letterheads and digital assets. Scope varies — some clients need a complete identity from scratch, others need a refinement or evolution of what they already have. We scope every project individually.
A standard business website typically takes three to six weeks from brief to launch, depending on the number of pages, complexity of functionality and how quickly client feedback is provided. We work in structured phases — strategy, design, development, testing and launch — so you always know where the project stands. Delays almost always come from delayed feedback, not from our side. We keep timelines tight by making the review process clear upfront.
Yes. We work with clients across East Africa — Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda — as well as international organisations operating in the region, including NGOs, development agencies and diaspora-led businesses. Our physical base is Kampala, Uganda, but remote collaboration is how most of our work gets done. If you are elsewhere, we adapt to your timezone for calls and use structured digital workflows to keep projects moving without friction.
Revisions are a natural part of the process — not an exception. Every project includes structured revision rounds built into the timeline. We do not do unlimited open-ended revisions (that leads to scope creep and worse outcomes for both sides), but we do not stop until the work is genuinely right. If something is not landing, we go back to the thinking — not just the aesthetics. The goal is work you are proud to put in front of your audience.
