Where we started
The partnership
Hominum started as a working partnership. From about 2012 Nicol ran the research and UX, Nic the interfaces and branding. Eight years of that before there was a company to put a name to it.
How we grew
Full service
In 2020 we formalised the studio and started offering clients full service. A network grew around it: developers and dev houses, designers, researchers, research companies, and our first clients in public health.
Where we are now
More with less
The work now spans fintech, insurance, science and public health. We use the network and AI across all of it, from research synthesis to production code. A small team from us produces what used to take a floor of people.
Leadership
Nicol Ronga
Founder & Director
Founded Hominum out of a simple irritation: great design kept dying on the way to production. He leads the studio and its client relationships, and keeps every project honest about what users actually said.
Nic Louw
Founder & Creative Director
Nic has spent over 20 years in creative strategy, digital product design and branding, for clients including governments, universities, advertising agencies and private companies.
How we build teams
Specialised work needs specialised people.
We keep the core team small and bring in people we've shipped with before. They are researchers, engineers and designers we trust from years in finance, insurance and public health. You get a team assembled for your problem, not whoever happened to be free.
