About
I'm a passionate creative, mom, wife, and
a firm believer in living life by my own design.
I was a graphic designer at an international ad agency. While I loved my work, I craved a life where I didn't need to ask for permission to live;
I wanted freedom on my own terms.
Nice to meet you! I'm Nelett Loubser. For over a decade, I've navigated the beautiful messiness of being a creative in business, juggling multiple hats, and chasing big dreams. Now, I want to share that journey with you.
I want to go BEYOND DESIGN with you, guiding you not just as a designer in business but in nourishing every part of you
WHAT I STAND FOR
— mind, body, and spirit.
FOUNDER, CEO, designer
Hi my name is
NELETT
Loubser
I'm the founder of KunsHuis Graphic Design,
a Strategic Creative Design Studio in Namibia, Africa. I love excellent, functional design backed by strategy. I want to inspire other graphic designers to realise their worth and encourage clients to collaborate with designers to deliver elevated work.
That was when I realised I didn't want to miss the special moments in my life. That pivotal moment made me realise I didn't want to ask permission to live my life—I wanted to design my life without limitations.
My journey began in an international ad agency, where I honed my skills and discovered my passion and skill for design combined with creative strategy.
In 2010, I took a leap of faith and started KunsHuis from my mom's dining room. It was a humble beginning, but it was filled with dreams and determination.
So, I started building a client base outside my advertising job. Eight months later, in 2010, just a month after marrying, I launched KunsHuis, driven by the belief that I can make a life doing what I love.

STORY
Back story
My Husband wanted to ask for my hand in marriage only two months after we were together! I asked him how long his longest relationship was, and he said six months - so I said that if we were still together after six months, he could ask me. So, on our six-month anniversary, he wanted to ask me, but I couldn't get leave from my work. Only the day after I managed to get the time away - he asked me to marry him (very romanticly at a lodge with cheetahs - it was extraordinary!). Afterwards, he told me he wanted to do it ON our anniversary.
REMEMBER:
let's GO BEYOND DESIGN
My services go beyond traditional design. I offer a range of products to inspire your creative space, all aimed at inspiring and supporting designers in their journey.
