About Fawn Labs

Young, quick and built to last.

Fawn Labs is a technology studio in Nairobi. We design and engineer the websites, platforms and systems that ambitious organisations across East Africa run on.

Our story

We started by building our own products: a streetwear store, a ride-hailing platform, websites for youth movements. Each one is live and used by real people every day. That experience of building, launching and running products is what we now bring to every client.

Why a fawn?

Agile, alert and always growing.

A fawn is quick on its feet, aware of everything around it and constantly growing stronger. That is how we work, and what we want for every business we partner with.

What we believe

Principles we won't compromise.

Craft over volume

We take on a limited number of projects so each one receives senior attention, from the first sketch to the last line of code.

Built for our market

We design for the realities of East Africa: mobile-first users, M-Pesa, variable networks and budget-conscious devices.

Radical clarity

Written scopes, fixed prices, weekly demos. You always know where your project stands.

Ownership is yours

Your code, your data, your domain. We earn your next project by doing great work, not by locking you in.
