About

Big business experience. Small business heart.

We spent two decades inside global enterprise commerce, building for international retail groups, premium tech resellers and national chains. In 2024 we took the architecture and left the bureaucracy. Innov8 Studio is the result: an elite tactical unit, not another agency org chart.

01 / Mission Control

Two humans. A fleet of agents.

Rohan Visagie
Rohan Visagie
The Architect · Co-founder

Fourteen years in global enterprise commerce: frontend developer, then eight years as a senior UX designer, then head of customer experience, then country manager. Rohan designs the machine and how it feels to use, and refuses to ship anything that needs a manual.

Lezanne Bonthuys
Lezanne Bonthuys
The Operator · Co-founder

Eight years on the delivery side of enterprise commerce: backend developer, then project manager, then head of the project-management office, then head of operations. Lezanne runs the execution discipline: scope, sequence, and the uncomfortable questions that keep projects on time.

Between us and the deadline sits the fleet: AI agents that scaffold platforms overnight, refactor without complaint, and never bill overtime. Every mission starts in planning mode: the agents draft a blueprint, we tear it apart, and only the approved version gets built. Two decades of architecture deciding; agents executing. That’s Mission Control.

02 / Capacity

The roster is capped.

We scale systems, not headcount. The model tops out around 50 clients: enough to stay sharp, few enough that you never get handed to “the junior team”. There isn’t one.

04 / For agencies

The strike team behind the scenes.

Two arrangements, both running. For iLEAD et al(Pretoria), we’re the white-labelled engineering unit behind builds too technical for the bench: proposals within 48 hours, bi-weekly status reports, zero client poaching. TDMC(Durban) passes us the projects they can’t take on. In their own words: “a strong referral from us, highly recommended.”
