Our Humble
Beginnings
We are a creative bespoke studio based in Paarl, South Africa that specializes in branding, graphic design, social media, stationary, websites and marketing.
Our creative style goes hand in hand with simplicity and minimalism, using the fewest elements to create the maximum effect. The work and designs we produce are of the highest quality, and so are the team! Delivering on client expectations in a friendly, professional and timeous manner is what we pride ourselves on.
Aside from the wine industry, Creatory has also worked with established brands and businesses such as The Kolisi Foundation founded by Siya & Rachel Kolisi, Peter Gilder in Constantia, HeyDay inside Val de Vie Estate, Back’s by Fairview Cheese & Wine Estate, and the franchise, Reubens by Reuben Riffel, among others.
Our approach has always been to produce work that delivers on objectives. To create effective design solutions with real purpose and value, not only work that looks good, but work and designs that are functional.
We’re excited to create your story with you…
Imagine nothing but the possibilities of your creativity.

Owner
Marcelle
Marcelle is passionate about design, creativity and building brands with purpose. As the founder of Creatory, she has turned that passion into a creative studio where brands and creative talent can grow, bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design and meaningful brand experiences.
Outside of work, Marcelle loves travelling, exploring new destinations and discovering local food along the way. She also has a keen eye for beautiful spaces, and a café’s interior or exterior can often win her over before she’s even looked at the menu.
Studio Manager

Social Media Coordinator
Ashleigh
Ashleigh brings a creative eye to the Creatory team, with a natural sense of style and a passion for putting things together beautifully. With a degree in Fashion, she has a strong appreciation for detail and a knack for knowing what works visually.
Outside of work, Ashleigh loves all things plants and can usually be found gardening or adding to her ever-growing collection. She’s also a big Dachshund lover, so chances are she’ll always stop to admire one when she sees it.
Social Media Coordinator
Zoe
Zoe is a people person with a passion for marketing, strategy and creating meaningful brand experiences. With experience across strategy, campaigns, retail marketing and client service, she brings an organised, driven and hands-on approach to everything she does.
She loves turning ideas into action and thrives on taking on new challenges, building strong relationships and finding ways to make things happen. Outside of work, Zoe enjoys Pilates, keeping active and spending time with her family. Naturally organised, she’s also the person who likes having a plan whether it’s for a campaign, a weekend or her next big project.
Social Media Coordinator
Lea
Lea brings a strong people-focused approach to her work, with a natural ability to connect with clients and bring energy to the team. Outside of work, she enjoys playing netball and loves making the most of her time on and off the court.
A fun fact about Lea? She once worked at the largest Nobu in the world, and her ultimate comfort movie is the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
She’s also travelled to four countries, adding plenty of experiences and stories along the way.
Social Media Coordinator
Elisabeth
Elisabeth is passionate about design, creativity and turning ideas into something people can see, feel and connect with. At Creatory, she brings a strong creative eye and a love for out of the box thinking to the projects she works on, always looking for new ways to make an idea stand out.
Outside of work, Elisabeth loves painting, which gives her a chance to experiment with colour and creativity in a completely different way. And while she takes her work seriously, she also has a pretty good Jennifer Coolidge impersonation up her sleeve.
Social Media Coordinator
Marli
Marli brings a friendly and positive energy to the Creatory team, with a genuine love for connecting with people and being part of a creative environment.
Outside of work, Marli enjoys going on walks and runs with friends. She’s also part of a small walking club in Stellenbosch, giving her another reason to get outdoors, stay active and spend time with good company.

He holds a BCom degree in Digital Marketing and is a Klaviyo partner, with a particular passion for using digital to connect brands with the right people and deliver meaningful results.
Outside of work, Corné enjoys playing guitar and gaming. Somewhere along the way, he also accidentally started a hat collection, and now there’s no turning back.
Content Creator
Teezy
Teezy is a visual storyteller with a passion for photography and videography. He’s always got a camera in hand, whether he’s working on a project or simply capturing something that catches his eye.
A proper introvert by nature, he somehow found himself making a living by putting himself in rooms with people and telling their stories through a camera.
His work was recognised in 2025 when he won Videographer of the Year at the PH Awards.
