One studio.
Two practices.
twofivesix is a one-person studio in Kampala, run by Obaya Dralega.
The studio sits at an unusual intersection. Obaya is a founding member of Afropocene StudioLab, Uganda’s leading contemporary artists collective, supported by the United Nations Development Programme. He is also a former Assistant Vice President, Software Developer at a global bank managing over $7 trillion in assets.
Most studios pick a side — design or engineering, art or industry. twofivesix doesn’t. The bank job taught discipline: software at scale isn’t about clever code, it’s about reliability, security, and the boring details customers never see but always feel. The artist’s practice teaches the opposite lesson: the things customers do see — the typography, the rhythm, the colour, the restraint — are not decoration. They are the product.
twofivesix brings both standards to Ugandan businesses. Every checkout is treated like it’s moving real money, because it is. Every page is treated like it’s an exhibition, because it should be.
We work with a small number of clients each year. We don’t take on work we can’t do well.
