ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES
Vygie is a creative studio for brands, ideas and people who want to make something a little more memorable.
We bring design, photography and web together to create work that feels thoughtful, personal and properly considered from the first idea to the final detail.
LET'S Chat
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME.
This is where it started.
This photo was taken at my grandparents’ home in Bloemfontein, surrounded by vygies that would eventually inspire the name of my studio. It’s a photo my grandparents still refer back to, and one that has always held a special place in our family.
I was little, but I was already making things, drawing things, and being curious about the world around me. These drawings were made there too — little pieces of creativity that, looking back, feel like the very beginning of it all.
I obviously didn’t know it at the time, but that little garden would become part of something much bigger. Years later, I named my studio after it.
THE WAY WE MAKE THINGS
DESIGN WITH INTENTION
We don't make things just for the sake of making them look good. Every colour, typeface, layout and little detail should have a reason behind it.
CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE
Good design starts with listening. We want to understand the people behind the brief, the people it's for and what actually matters to them.
MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOU
We aren't interested in making brands that could belong to anyone. The best work has personality, character and a little bit of its own story.

HALLO, I’M NICOLÉ
Pronounced: nee-ko-layI’m Nicolé, the founder and designer behind Vygie. I’ve always been someone who finds joy in the little things, whether it’s capturing a beautiful moment, discovering somewhere new or finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. For me, creativity has never been limited to a desk or a screen; it’s in the way I experience the world around me.
When I’m not designing, I’m usually behind my camera, capturing moments and memories I want to hold on to. I love spending time with my family, exploring new places, planning little adventures and discovering new food spots which almost always means taking pictures of my food before eating it. You'll also find me at the gym, making time for myself and finding a little balance in the busyness of everyday life.
I have a soft spot for the little things: a good cup of tea, an iced matcha, a scoop of ice cream, a cosy hot pot dinner and moments spent with the people I love. At home, life is shared with two pet snakes, a cat and a dog, each adding their own little bit of character to my world.
I suppose I'm just someone who loves experiencing life, collecting memories and finding beauty in the ordinary. I believe inspiration is everywhere, often in the smallest details, and that the best stories are made up of all the little moments in between.
