The story

On 21 March 2020, Mr. Malayali was a Facebook page and nothing else. Asif Ali Hussain started it to tell stories in English and Malayalam — no business plan, no clients, just something to do with his time.

The page clicked. Posts needed design, design brought requests, and requests turned into a craft: first graphic design, then UI/UX and brand design, then the marketing that actually puts a brand in front of people. When clients began asking for the product itself — a website, an app — he learned to build those too.

What started as one person passing time is now a studio with a full team, serving over 500 clients across 18 countries. The same instinct runs through all of it: every brand is a story, and somebody has to tell it properly.

How it happened

From a Facebook page to a studio.

21 March 2020

A Facebook page

Mr. Malayali begins as a page telling stories in English and Malayalam. A time pass, not a business.

The turn

Graphic design

The page finds an audience. Every post needs design, and the design starts bringing in work.

Next

UI/UX and brand design

From single posts to whole identities — the logo, the system and the screens a brand lives on.

Then

Marketing

Designing a brand is half the job. Getting it in front of the right people is the other half.

After that

Web and app development

Clients started asking for the product itself. So he learned to build it, and the studio started shipping software.

Today

A full studio

A team that takes a brand from the first sketch to a live app — design, marketing and development under one roof.

A logo is the shortest story your brand will ever tell. Everything else we build is the rest of that story.
