About us

Two founders. One standard.

We are Nicole Steyn and JP de Villiers, co-founders of Nuvora Studio, working with businesses across South Africa and the UAE. We keep the team tight on purpose: you work with the founders directly, and we know your business by name, not by a ticket number.

Nicole Steyn

Nicole Steyn

Co-founder. Design, social media, ads and content.

  • Web design
  • Social media
  • Paid ads
  • UGC and AI video
  • Automotive brands

Nicole leads the creative side of every project: web design, content strategy, social media and paid advertising. She decides how a brand looks, sounds and shows up online.

She is a trained web designer with deep roots in the automotive world, which makes her a natural fit for car, 4x4 and motoring brands. She produces UGC-style video and AI content that looks and feels like it came from a real customer.

On the growth side she plans the content calendar, writes the captions, runs the ads and reads the results, so every post and every bit of ad budget has a job to do.

She holds every project to one standard: if it would not stop her scrolling, it does not go out. And because she works with every client directly, the person who designs your brand is the person you talk to.

JP de Villiers

JP de Villiers

Co-founder. Content, AI video, websites and portals.

  • UGC ads
  • AI video and AI creators
  • Hooks and scripts
  • Websites and portals
  • Shopify

JP leads content and the technical side: UGC ads, AI video and AI creators, hooks and scripts, plus the websites, shops and staff portals behind them.

He knows what makes a thumb stop: the first second of a video, the hook that earns the next five, and the edit that makes people tap. He has built content concepts for creator-led brands and knows the platforms from the inside.

He builds everything to be fast, secure and easy for your team to use, and stays on after launch to keep it that way.

JP is also the owner of Sarmatia Engineering & Technical Services, an Abu Dhabi engineering firm serving the oil and gas sector. Building Sarmatia's own website and staff portal showed him how much time the right system saves a business, and that is where this studio began.

Every project gets both of us. Nicole makes sure it looks right and reaches the right people. JP makes sure it works, stays fast and stays secure.
