About Yaya

We help cyber security businesses grow.

We're all in on Cyber Security, with a goal to become the go-to partner for ambitious businesses in the space who are looking to grow.

The people you'll actually work with

The founders you meet in the sales process lead your project and do the work, supported by our small senior team of strategists, designers, and specialists.

Phill Keaney-Bolland

Co-founder and Designer

Phill Keaney-Bolland

Co-founder and designer, and the person who works on your positioning, strategy, and website design and build directly. Fifteen years designing products, brands and UX across multiple industries before narrowing to cybersecurity, including heading up marketing and product design in global consultancies. Lectures on design at Imperial and appears on national television as a design expert. Took Twine out of stealth and led the positioning on Geordie AI, which won the RSA Innovation Sandbox in 2026, with work spanning identity, cloud security, AI agents, software supply chain and infrastructure access.

Adam Yaya-Durrant

Co-founder and Design Director

Adam Yaya-Durrant

Co-founder and design director, and the person who designs the brand rather than briefing a team you never meet. Eighteen years in design, from editorial and enterprise digital through to heading up design at a global management consultancy, where the two founders met. Leads identity, art direction and the design system on every build, including Twine and Aryon coming out of stealth, Aizome's Identiverse launch and Geordie AI. Assembles the specialist team around each project.

The funds backing the founders we work with

Our clients have raised from these investors. We build the brand and the site that has to hold up in front of their buyers, and again in the next round.

The studio

Small by design

We chose not to be a big agency because we like doing the work. Remote, led from London, with a bias for craft over account management.

What we stand for

We exist to help the best cybersecurity businesses realize their potential: work we're proud of, that pushes the industry forward, and that delivers results.

Boldness with a business case

Every choice that looks brave has a commercial reason behind it. Different by design, never different for its own sake.

We fight for what matters

Pride in everything we ship
