THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN SUCH A breathtaking adventure. HEADING
UP AN ALL-FEMALE TEAM IS A honour and a privilege, AND I AM BEYOND PROUD OF THE WORK THAT OUR TEAM CREATES.
ABOUT ROBYN

The Robyn Davie Creative Studio brand has been in
operation for nearly a decade, founded originally by Robyn in
Los Angeles in 2013.
During that time she has grown this business from a one-woman show to a fourteen member, all-female team,
spanning across South Africa.
Robyn loves how her role encapsulates a full mix of creativity and business skills on a daily basis - bouncing between design, management, admin and leadership roles, all within a few hours!
Innovation is incredibly important to the team, and
2020 and 2021 have allowed them a lot of room to pivot,
diversify and offer new services and products - it's been a fun
and creative challenge to do so!
