We are MONOLIF — A Design & Development studio that is small by design, but monolific by nature. We work with brands and companies to craft a digital presence that captivates and resonates with its users.
A micro-studio with MONOLIFIC goals
MONOLIF® is a micro-studio founded by Kieran Parker, a multidisciplinary designer with over a decade in the design industry. Purposefully small, our micro-studio uses a global network of independent collaborators across different disciplines, which allows us to apply the required expertise and approach to each project, making sure we are never pigeon holed when exploration is required.
Passionate about doing good work and challenge the norm, MONOLIF typically partners with founders, startups and companies that are passionate about what they are doing. Helping them craft an online presence that is not only goal-orientated, but also to craft a unique user experience that captivates and resonates with the desired audience.
We follow Four core principles with every project
In a digital world that can sometimes feel disconnected, we believe it's essential to form lasting partnerships with each of our clients. By forming partnerships, it allows us to get to know each other better, understand your needs and struggles, and offer full trust in our decisions.
To get off to a great start and adhere to our first principle of full transparency, we have laid out our four core principles.
These principles enable us to do excellent work, craft stunning experiences, and foster strong partnerships. We trust that these four principles will give you an insight into the quality of service you can expect from us, and help to build a strong bond between our studio and you.
TRUST & TRANSPARENCY
To do our best work, our clients must trust that we have their interests at heart. In return, we offer complete transparency in our process, decisions and deliverables.
DESIGN WITH REASON
Good design is more than what you see. Our creative decisions are backed by best practices, experience, research and a thorough understanding of the objectives.
COMMUNICATE OFTEN
Over-communication is how we prefer it. It allows for better idea sharing and problem-solving while minimising potential confusion and anxiety.
BUDGET ≠ VALUE
We strive to provide value and impact, regardless. We believe a budget should indicate the path we take, not the length of the journey.
Partnerships, in whatever sense makes sense.
We often talk to founders and startups that have an incredible idea, an enthusiastic team, and a great deal of potential - but unfortunately, don't have the funds to hire us to get all of the things done that they need to in order to reach their goals. To accommodate this scenario, we typically look for ways to make the situation beneficial for both parties - such as an “equity as payment” deal. This type of agreement means that we can provide our services at a discounted or free rate in exchange for some equity in the company.
We have seen many times that this approach is advantageous for both sides, and we take great pleasure in exploring these possibilities. If you feel like you are in need of our services, but your budget is limited, or you are curious about how a long-term “skin in the game” partnership might work, don't hesitate to get in touch! We would love to help you out and provide you with the resources you need to succeed.
*Partnerships that include equity-as-payment require additional information to make an informed decision.
