Creative Director
Design has to say something.
01The Origin
Founded in 2024, Jones created 9-41 after he quit his job to make design the way he'd want it made.
The studio operates from Nigeria, working with brands from Lagos to London to Los Angeles.
Our first client found us before we publicly launched. The CMO of SportsAcademy, the athlete training company Kobe Bryant co-founded, discovered our work on behance and hired the studio. That set the pattern.
Most of our clients come the same way: they find work they want their brand to look like, then come to the people who made it.

You don't get your project handed to juniors.
If your project needs the whole team, you get the whole team.

03Our philosophy
Every project has a moment where
the work has to defend itself
to people who weren't in the room
when it was made. We design for that
moment.
04Clients
You don't get your project handed to juniors.
If your project needs the whole team, you get the whole team.
The CMO of Kobe Bryant's training brand found the studio on Behance and hired us. We designed their website. They became our first marquee client, before we'd publicly launched.
ASH brings game worlds to life for studios like Ubisoft and Bethesda. We designed and built a website as cinematic as the content they make. Every scroll had to feel immersive.
The founder of Method Five reached out because he needed a team he could trust with his client work. We partnered with them, shipped on time, delivered work we are both proud of.
Saya scouts and manages models for global runways and campaigns. They wanted a website as editorial as their talent, nothing loud, just clean. It became our most engaged Behance feature.
The Prive Decor turns empty Dubai properties into guest-ready rentals that book out. We built a website as polished as their interiors, where every before-and-after sells the transformation itself.
Rhyno started as a blank canvas. We shaped the whole brand, gymwear, protein, packaging and website, into something that hits as hard as their athletes. Not a store, a movement.
These brands didn't come to us
looking for safe.
Let's make
your brand the
second kind.
your
second kind.
