About me.

I’m Cheske Maart, a Cape Town-based digital designer with a background in Architectural Technology, wayfinding and signage design.

A lifelong love for buildings led to a degree in architecture, professional experience in signage and wayfinding for high-end residential developments, and years of design work across branding, digital, and print — and eventually to founding 61eighty studio with a focus on the built environment — helping architecture firms present their work with authority, and boutique residential developers tell the story of their place so compellingly that buyers choose them before the building exists.

Restore Foundation

I am absolutely impressed with the logo design by Cheske created for Restore Foundation. The design was not only visually stunning but it also perfectly captures the essence of our brand. She is very professional and puts in a lot effort and time into what she does because she is so passionate about design. Cheske has impeccable craftmanship. She is very creative, efficient and working with her was such a pleasure. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a professional and impactful logo design. I believe that she is the best in the business.
