Formed to deliver that little bit extra,
we measure our success by yours.
A senior only design studio based in London with a global reach.
We partner with thinkers that have users at the core of their missions.
Inspired by the Quechuan word Yapay, yapa is the act of giving loyal customers that little bit extra. Since 2019, our small yet nimble team have been helping our partners define, create and deliver user centred brands and products globally.
We believe that design shouldn’t just succeed, it should exceed expectations. This to us is the grounds for a design partnership that lasts.
Our motto
-
Honesty is the best policy
Any problem, big or small, we make sure we define what the core issues are, then solve them.
-
Define it
Clarity beats cleverness. We name the real problem out loud before we go anywhere near a solution.
-
Front runner
We don't deliver brands and products to sit in the middle of the pack. We strive to be the front runner of any market.
-
Have fun
Design is as fun for us years on as when we started. Work is never work when you enjoy it, and we push that into every partnership.
-
Keep it simple, stupid
No jargon, no over-engineering. The simplest thing that solves the problem wins, every single time.

All projectsStudio Yapa delivered exactly what was expected. Jakob was diligent and worked carefully with us to establish the brief. Turnaround was quick given the size of our project and the team were quick to adjust with feedback. Will definitely be working with Yapa again!
What stood out most was their commitment to delivering the best possible outcome for the project. Jakob consistently went the extra mile, thinking carefully about the problem, being open to feedback, and refining until it was right. That level of care and ownership is rare and really valuable.
Studio Yapa took full ownership of our product design, web design, and demo assets, consistently delivering high-quality work that elevated our brand. They were highly responsive, proactive, and dependable — and it's rare to find an agency who brings both creative vision and operational excellence.
Had a great experience with Studio Yapa. Will be working with them again. The design team completely transformed our brand identity. They took our vague ideas and turned them into a stunning, modern visual style that exceeded our expectations. 100% recommended.
Been working with Jakob for a while on zeal.app and he's been great. Would recommend working for product flows and prototypes.

I had a great experience working with Studio Yapa on our ADHD app, Addie. He did an excellent job turning our ideas into a user-friendly design. Their collaborative approach and responsiveness made the process smooth, resulting in an app that meets the user's needs.
