Aruva Digital is a one-person studio for small businesses, startups and personal brands that want real creative work without an agency sitting between them and the person making it.
A friend paid a marketplace seller for a menu design and got back a stretched stock photo and the wrong phone number. Fixing it took an evening.
That evening turned into a second client, then a tenth, then a full time practice. The work now covers design, video, Google Business Profile setup and social media, but the reason people call has not changed: they want someone who cares whether it works, not just whether it shipped.
A customer decides in a few seconds whether a business is worth their time, and they decide on a logo, a thumbnail, a Maps listing and a feed, usually before anyone speaks to you.
The job is to make that first look work in your favour, and to keep it consistent everywhere someone might find you.
Four things that come as standard, written into the quote rather than promised on a call.
The person you brief is the person who designs, edits and delivers. No juniors learning on your budget, no handover gaps.
You approve a scope and a number before work starts. Revisions are counted in the quote, so the invoice never surprises you.
Source files, editable projects, fonts, exports and account access are yours. Nothing is held back if we stop working together.
If a cheaper or simpler route gets the same result, you will hear it, even when that means a smaller project for me.
Five years, in short.
First paid project was a cafe menu and price board. Word of mouth brought four more local businesses within three months.
Added once clients started shooting their own footage and needed someone to make sense of it.
Google Business Profile work grew into a standalone offer when it started driving more calls than social did.
Monthly social work began so brands stopped restarting from zero every quarter.
A focused studio with a capped client list, taking on work across design, video, local search and social.
