Our story
Independent beginnings. Enduring standards.
Founded in Pretoria in 2007 by Douw Roode and John Prinsloo, the company was previously known as Vmdfresh.
Krimson Karhu began with a simple purpose: to give freelance designers a place to showcase their talent and grow their experience. That foundation created a studio culture where different viewpoints are valued, practical learning never stops and the quality of the outcome matters more than ego.
Since 2007, we have delivered tailored graphic design, marketing and print solutions for clients across South Africa—from start-ups and community organisations to education, corporate and government work.
We know the strongest creative result rarely appears from a closed room. Clients bring deep subject knowledge; we bring the process, creative judgement and technical experience to turn that knowledge into communication people can understand and remember.
Whether a business is launching, repositioning, entering a new stage of growth or simply trying to communicate more clearly, our aim is the same: connect the creative vision to the business objective and make every touchpoint work harder.
