Culture · Touchfoundry
We take the work seriously. Ourselves, less so.
A Cape Town studio, fourteen years in - designers, developers, strategists, marketers and data specialists who do good work, with good people, and have a good time doing it.

By the numbers
What we live by
Five simple rules we work by.
Do good work
Quality over quantity, always. We only take on work we're great at, and we finish strong.
Be good people. Have fun.
We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Clear communication, mutual respect, and zero tolerance for bad vibes.
Own it
Strong opinions, held responsibly. Your wins are our wins. Passion required, complacency a deal-breaker.
Better than yesterday
We learn and adapt every day. Growth beats experience, speed beats perfection.
Impact aware
We measure what matters. No vanity metrics, no guesswork.
Off the clock (sort of)
Life at the studio.
How we work
Hybrid, human, high-standard.
Hybrid by design
Three days a week in our Cape Town studio with flexible start times - because we believe in a better life for all of us.
Set up to do your best
Good gear, a good stack, and AI-enabled tooling. We remove the friction so you can do work you're proud of.
Rituals that stick
Team lunches, off-sites, and the odd spontaneous foosball tournament. We make time to actually be a team.
Low ego, high standard
Strong opinions, held responsibly. We challenge each other, hand off cleanly, and leave the politics at the door.
Perks & benefits
The good stuff.
Hybrid & flexible
3 days in-office, flexible start times.
Good gear, good stack
The kit and tools to do great work.
AI-enabled
Modern tooling, no dinosaurs.
Real growth paths
We invest in you levelling up.
Team lunches
We break bread, often.
Off-sites
We get out of the building.
Health & wellness
Benefits that look after you.
Foosball
Undisputed studio glory.
tf Labs
Where we let loose.
Every quarter we down tools and go all-in on tf Labs - our hackathon and innovation day. Wild ideas, side quests, unreasonable prototypes, and real cash prizes for the teams that pull it off. It's where 'what if' becomes 'ship it'.
- Every quarter
- Any idea goes
- Real cash prizes
- Bragging rights included
How we are
Different by design.
The best work comes from a room that doesn't all think alike. We hire for who you are as much as what you can do, celebrate the perspectives that stretch us, and back the people who quietly raise everyone's game. Curiosity in, complacency out.
People stay here because the work is real, the standards are high, and nobody's pretending. We look after each other, we grow together, and we genuinely enjoy the ride.
