The crew, Accra

The studio

Two senior builders. A trusted crew around them.

Creative Leaf is led by Andy and Michael, who have each spent 9+ years designing and building software. We started the studio in Accra in 2024 and bring in people we trust when a project needs more hands.

We also maintain Leaf PHP, an open source framework we’ve built since 2019. So the code we hand over is code we’d be happy to maintain ourselves.

Senior hands, no bench

The people you talk to are the people doing the work. No handoffs to a team you never meet.

Design and code, one room

We design with the build in mind and build with the design in the room, so nothing gets lost between the two.

Ship, then keep looking

A release is a checkpoint. We stay close after launch to see what people actually do and adjust.
