“I was out of university when I birthed the company Digicraft. Infact as a student at the College of Art at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), one of our assignments was to create an identity program for our own business. I remember thinking in the process of doing this assignment, how amazing it would be to actualize this project or dream after University and I did.

To be honest I did not have any clear vision of what I was creating but I had so much self-belief and was extremely committed to the project. I was everything when I started C.E.O, Creative Director and Designer, Marketer, Production Manager and all this started in my bedroom with the full support and endorsement of my parents”, he said.

He recalled times when clients would want to come to his office and he would respond by saying “because you are so special, I will rather come to you”.

Mr. Kwaku Danso-Misah said the many parts eventually came together over the years and today Digicraft has become a generational brand.

He said the cultures and values that have brought the company far includes efficiency and the development of an internal system that motivates the team to deliver quality work quickly.

“Secondly, professionalism, understanding the ethics of the craft, and exhibiting respect and humility for each other and the competition. Thirdly, innovation, allowing our minds to think differently, knowing that whatever we are doing, we are offering solutions that differentiate our clients from their competitors. Lastly, I’ll say the customer experience. We show how committed we are to our customers by being available to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week”, he said.
