Isaiah Kakitahi

I'm a designer and builder who works with founders, small businesses, and nonprofits. I turn scattered, half-built ideas into websites and brand systems that feel obvious to use. Five client projects in 2025. Two countries. I come in when the work has to hold up commercially, not just look right.

I work with people who treat design as a business decision, not a coat of paint applied at the end.

About Isaiah Kakitahi

I started the way most self-taught practice starts — learning by doing, breaking things, fixing them, getting curious about why some things felt right and others didn't. Over time that curiosity turned into a real craft.

I do this work independently, alongside a finance and marketing double major at Strathmore University. That second half taught me structure, limits, and trade-offs — how systems behave under pressure, and how people actually decide. Both carry into the work.

Design isn't a big dramatic process for me. It's closer to paying attention: noticing when something feels cluttered, is trying too hard, or isn't saying quite enough. I'm most interested in work that doesn't shout — interfaces that move calmly, brands that don't overexplain themselves.

Works

I work with people who treat design as a real function, not a final step. The ones who want someone who will tell them the truth about the idea, stay through the hard calls, and care about what ships, not just what was designed.

Quality work speaks for itself.

Services

I don't offer packages. I take on work that has a real problem at the center of it and stay until it's solved. I've learned that the problem on the brief is rarely the actual problem. Here's where I tend to start.

01.

Website Design & Development

Every site is scoped individually — layout, content architecture, responsiveness, and performance — whether that's a simple personal-brand page or a full CMS-driven build. Structurally clean, and built to stay that way after handover.

Layout and content architecture
Responsive and mobile passes
CMS structure clients can actually run
Performance and QA before launch
02.

Brand & Visual Identity

Logo, colour, type, and tone worked out together, so a brand reads as one coherent thing across a website, its socials, and everything else it touches. Considered rather than templated.

Logo and wordmark systems
Colour and type direction
Tone of voice and naming
Applied across site and socials
03.

Automation & AI-Enabled Systems

Custom integrations, APIs, payment logic, and AI agents. ReplyFrame — a comment-and-review plugin with its own SaaS-style backend — runs live in the Framer Marketplace, and AI risk-assessment tooling is in delivery for a boutique advisory firm.

API and third-party integrations
Booking and data-driven logic
AI-assisted internal tooling
Products shipped, not experiments
04.

Design Partnership

An ongoing retainer for people who need continuous support across more than one site rather than a single delivery — new sections, priority turnaround, and someone who already knows the system instead of relearning it each time.

Continuous iteration, not one delivery
Priority turnaround
Support across multiple sites
Scope agreed monthly, upfront
Testimonials
We have had the pleasure of working with Chaldea Studios across several projects, including the development of our e-commerce site and multiple business websites. From start to finish, their patience, professionalism, and collaborative approach made the entire experience truly enjoyable. Chaldea Studios consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs, translating our ideas into beautifully designed, functional websites that perfectly reflect our brands. Their creativity, technical expertise, and willingness to listen and adapt were key to bringing our visions to life. What truly stood out was their responsiveness and commitment to getting every detail just right — no request was ever too small, and every piece of feedback was welcomed with a positive attitude. Finding a partner who combines design excellence with such a high level of service and genuine collaboration is rare.
