The person behind it
Hi, I'm Abbi.
Based in Melbourne, I'm a prodigy designer with 5+ years of experience across 8 different projects and industries — from early-stage startups to consumer products. I started Mahis Studios to give founders access to senior design thinking without the agency overhead or the hiring headache.
What people say
Kind words
from founders.
★★★★★
"Working with Abbi was the clearest design process I've been through. We went from a vague idea to a prototype investors actually reacted to — in two weeks."
★★★★★
"Finally a designer who asks about conversion before asking about colours. The output was sharp, the communication was even better. Would do it again without hesitation."
★★★★★
"Fixed scope, fixed price — exactly what a pre-seed founder needs. No surprises, no scope creep. Just clean work delivered on time. Abbi gets what early-stage actually looks like."
