About DesignX · Nairobi, Kenya

Technology that helps African businesses move forward.

Digital Design Experience (DDE), known as DesignX, is a Nairobi-based engineering partner bringing web design, system integration, cloud hosting, workplace IT and cybersecurity together for growing businesses across East Africa.

The Problem

Your technology shouldn't feel like five different companies.

When issues occur, disconnected vendors point at each other. DesignX brings all the pieces together under single accountability.

  • Your website is with one provider.
  • Your ERP is somewhere else.
  • Your server needs another person.
  • Your team calls someone else when IT breaks.
  • Security is handled separately.

DesignX brings the pieces together.

Execution Framework

How we work

A structured, 4-phase engineering lifecycle that moves your technology from legacy friction to unified operations.

Phase 01 · Discovery

Understand

We audit your existing front-end apps, backend databases, hosting setup, and operational friction points.

Key Output System Audit & Gap Analysis
Phase 02 · Architecture

Design

We architect a tailored technology blueprint specifying UX workflows, API connectors, and cloud hosting.

Key Output Integration & UX Blueprint
Phase 03 · Handoff

Integrate

We build the front end, program live ERP/payment API rails, and deploy dedicated cloud servers.

Key Output Live Production Environment
Phase 04 · Governance

Manage

We monitor performance 24/7, manage workplace workstations, run cloud backups, and enforce security.

Key Output Agreed Support Hours & Response Targets

Already have systems? That's fine. We work with what you already use.

You don't need to replace everything. You may already have a website, ERP, cloud infrastructure, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, servers, custom software or an IT provider. We can work with what you already use, fix what is broken, connect what is disconnected and manage it for you. We replace systems when replacement makes business sense, not simply because we didn't build them.

Maskio by DesignX

On-device security for generative AI.

Maskio is an on-device security checkpoint for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, and supported AI workflows. It inspects prompts, pasted files, clipboard content and developer context for credentials, PII, financial data and internal information, then warns, redacts or blocks it before submission. The security decision happens close to the source of the data.

Private On-Device Data Scanning

Sensitive content is scanned locally on your device before text is submitted to AI services or web applications. Raw prompts and clipboards remain private and are never transmitted to external cloud servers.

Bring data protection closer to the source.

Explore Maskio as part of your privacy controls. Software alone does not establish regulatory compliance.
