Our Story

Design Zeen was founded in 2017 by Campbell Mulholland, a seasoned business marketer with a background in SEO, website development, and e-commerce. His journey began in 2008 as a Graphic Designer in the advertising industry, where he honed his creative and strategic skills. After years of experience, he saw a gap in the market for a results-driven SEO agency and launched Design Zeen. A Durban University of Technology graduate, Campbell leads the team with expertise, innovation, and a passion for helping businesses succeed online.
