Who are we?

Passion translated to profession for Mallika Kejriwal when she branded her work and The Design Bay Studio, a Graphic Design and Social Media Agency, came into being. You'll find a team of about 15 people here, dedicated to your design and branding needs!

Brochure designing, catalogs, professional portfolios and customized stationery for your brand, is our job. You know those creative invites that circulate in your WhatsApp chats? That's us too!

In terms of Social Media marketing, our team promotes your work through all possible digital media platforms, along with designing and curating content for the same.

What's in the name?

The name of the Company has a funny story behind it! While she was still a freelancer, working from home, Mallika had exhausted her mind trying to come up with the name, and as always when a designer is doing something for themselves - nothing is good enough! There’s always something amiss! In the midst of the back and forth of just the name (don’t even get her started on the logo) here’s the funny part! - she and her husband were downloading torrents - before netflix ever came into play - from the legendary website - pirate bay - and that’s when her husband had a ‘Eureka’ moment and said - why not call it Design Bay!! It had the word ‘Design’ and being based in Bombay - it was an easy sell to be honest! The Design Bay Studio, stands for a niche studio in South Mumbai (a.k.a. - The Bay).

Why we do it?

The entire Design Bay team loves design! Even the business team gets so inspired looking at the designers that they want to learn the software too! That’s why we do it! It our form of de-stressing even with all the stress, chaos and deadlines (DEAD.lines) - we enjoy what we do! To the point that it physically hurts when clients approve the bad logo, or fix on the worst colour combination!

How we evolve?

The key to evolving is Research constantly updating yourself! This is similar to how a newspaper is read on a daily basis - you’ve got to be on top of the game! Reading Blogs, Articles on what's new, Zuckerberg's’ updates & how Instagram has developed their app with new features, going for events, even buying design books on a regular basis - is what’s important for any agency out there! We’ve got to ensure we know it all in the Marketing aspect, along with learning new tricks that our design softwares often surprise us with!

At work, internally, we ensure our Employees develop the Culture our Founder wishes to carry forward. With the industry growing at a rapid space, we sometimes tend to forget a lot of values that have gotten us far. However, at The Design Bay Studio, we have monthly training sessions amongst our team that ensure these values are never forgotten!

Social responsibility in social media

Every month, we generate content buckets for our clients that emphasize on the various topics that we can use for our Social Media Handles. Out of them, Social Responsibility is Key. CSR Activities for any brand, always adds value to them. We also do recommend on a time-to-time basis, some NGOs that our brands can tie up with. This helps build a positive impact to the page.
