Hell of a Creative Mind to work with
THE BLOSSOM
With over a decade of international experience and a Master’s in Project Management to crafting strategic solutions across fashion, tech and corporate sectors.
His work is guided by a core principle inspired by his grandmother’s determined pursuit of knowledge. Raphael believes in design that seeks deeper understanding to deliver genuine value and foster positive growth.
THE TREE
Why 'Mlangi' and not something more personal? Actually, Mlangi is personal as it gets. The name Mlangi honours his late grandmother who was born under a Ylang-ylang tree.
Though she grew up without formal education, her relentless pursuit of knowledge instilled in her family a profound respect for learning and adding genuine value.It is this same determination to understand, connect and elevate that Raphael brings to creative projects ensuring holistic and meaningful results.

All of us really enjoyed working with Raphael, he is a dedicated Art Director, enthusiastic and brimful with visual ideas and was totally committed member of the team.

Raphael has remarkable talents in business, management, and communication, making him a unique asset to any organisation he finds himself in. I believe he is a unique individual who will bring value to your organisation.
UK, London, 2019
We hired Raphael to help us develop our product’s brand messaging and identity. Our business is a Beauty Data and Technology startup that helps beauty
companies use data to help their customers shop.
With us, Raphael’s superpower is in bringing calm to our projects and refocusing the team on the main objectives.
I believe that superpower will be an incredibly useful to his work as both researcher and teacher at your department. Raphael is a specialist in drawing out the best from the people around him. For example, in his branding and design workshops, he includes all members of the team, from product managers to developers, and facilitates idea development discussions,
drawing ideas out from us and challenging us to develop them further.
