Where strategy meets execution — across brand, product, and growth.
At Kiva Works, we believe that building a great brand shouldn’t be so hard. Founded by seasoned marketing and design leaders, we set out to make world-class marketing and design radically more accessible—so entrepreneurs can move faster, focus on what they do best, and actually enjoy the ride.
We’ve been in your shoes, building something ambitious with tight resources, and we understand the challenges firsthand.
Our mission is to be the partner we wished we had: lean, adaptive, and deeply embedded in your team.
We bring decades of real-world marketing and design leadership to every engagement, helping startups and scaleups bridge brand, product, and marketing to go further, faster.
We’ve built brands from the inside — now we do it for you.
Janne is the kind of marketer you want in your corner when you’re moving fast and aiming high. He’s built brands from scratch, launched new categories, and helped teams go from chaos to clarity — all while keeping things grounded and focused on what actually drives growth.
Before Kiva Works, Janne led marketing inside startups and scaleups, often as the first hire or interim leader. He’s seen what works, what doesn’t, and how to build traction without bloated processes or endless slide decks.
At Kiva, he brings that mix of strategic focus and hands-on hustle — helping founders sharpen their story, align teams, and make smarter moves, faster.
Vince designs like a storyteller and thinks like a strategist. With a background that spans advertising, branding, photography, and UX, he’s been crafting thoughtful, high-impact design for over a decade — long before Figma took over your browser.
He founded Arquipélago to give growing companies access to top-tier design without the agency baggage, and hasn’t looked back since. Whether it’s shaping a new brand or designing a full product from scratch, Vince brings a rare ability to turn complex problems into clean, intuitive experiences.
At Kiva, he’s the design brain behind the build — fast, collaborative, and always thinking a few steps ahead.
Kiva Works is founder-led and hands-on — but we’re not a two-person studio.
Behind us is a global network of senior experts in brand, product, growth, and emerging tech.
We assemble custom-fit teams around your project to make sure you always get the right talent — and senior-level execution — from day one.
