This month marks four years of DarkFuse and like most good stories, it started in a way we didn’t plan.
In 2020, during the first lockdown, we took on a single project: a portfolio website for a visual artist. It was meant to be a one-off. But the work spoke for itself, and word spread. Referrals turned into new clients. New clients turned into repeat business. And what began as a creative outlet quickly became something much bigger.
Today, DarkFuse is a recognised Wix Studio Legend Partner. We’ve had the opportunity to work with over 150 clients across the globe, spanning just about every industry under the sun from cult brands like Crazy Bastard Hot Sauce to global consultancies in the automotive sector. Every project is different, but the goal is always the same: design-led solutions that deliver.
We’re proud of the results we’ve driven—helping our clients boost visibility, improve performance and drive ROI through clean, strategic digital design. One of our personal highlights this year? Seeing a client we worked with featured in Vogue Living. That kind of exposure doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built on considered work and the right positioning.
We’re still a small team. But a sharp one. And we’re growing.
What hasn’t changed is our way of working. It’s direct, hands-on, and always focused on design that functions. We don’t do fluff. We do digital that delivers whether that’s through sleek UI, tight UX, or a brand that actually connects.
The past four years have been about learning, building, and refining. As we step into year five, we're focused on growing the team, sharpening the work, and collaborating on projects that push things forward creatively and commercially.
Thanks to every client, collaborator and partner who’s been part of this journey. Let’s see where the next chapter takes us.
