The Face Behind Khula
Hello 👋🏻 I'm Jamie Windell
I’m the founder of Khula Design Studio, a strategist and a serial entrepreneur, born and raised in Johannesburg, South African, now living the Canadian dream in beautiful British Columbia.
I’ve been launching and growing small businesses for over ten years. While owning and building a business can be exciting, it has challenges and frustrations. I totally get it!
So when I decided to start Khula, I knew I wanted to help clients by alleviating some of the pain points I’d experienced, building a professional brand image that is cohesive and a website that is easy to maintain and update.
Armed with a passion and expertise in branding and web design, for seven years, I learned from the best and honed my abilities in the digital space at award-winning design agencies.
Now at Khula, I combine my knowledge of strategy, operations, UX, CX, and design thinking to serve our clients with the best solutions and ideas to help their business grow and thrive.
"Khula has been the missing link I’ve needed to deliver beautiful brands and websites that fit the brand strategy and copy I develop for clients.
What I love about working with Jamie is that he just gets it. He has a proven track record for nailing the visual identity on the first concept, which shows he takes the time to thoroughly understand the project brief, industry ,and client.
Above that, Jamie has solid communication skills. He answers questions quickly and in detail and is a genuinely positive person. I always leave our calls 1) impressed by the work he delivers; 2) in a good mood. For businesses looking to strengthen their brand and website, look no further!"
