A multidisciplinary creative studio founded by Karabo Xaba.
ByKaraboX_ is the creative home of Karabo Xaba, a South African multidisciplinary creative born in 1991 in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni. Built on originality, storytelling, and bold visual expression, ByKaraboX_ brings together two distinct creative identities under one vision.
Traditional Art
Original Ink Art
Every artwork begins as an original hand-drawn piece on A4 paper. These one-of-a-kind creations are carefully transformed into premium matte art prints, available from A0 to A4, while selected designs become wearable art through art tees. It transforms ink into art that belongs on walls, in creative spaces, and in everyday life.
Graphic Design
Brand Identity Designer & Graphic Designer
As a Graphic Designer, Karabo partners with businesses, entrepreneurs, and creators to build distinctive visual identities. From logo design and complete brand identity systems to graphic design and creative direction, every project is crafted to communicate purpose, personality, and lasting impact.
The Story
Karabo's creative journey began at the age of 7, sketching on A4 paper and filling page after page with expressive doodles, abstract forms, and imaginative patterns inspired by everyday life in Tembisa. What started as childhood curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion for art and design.
Today, ByKaraboX_ brings that journey full circle—where original ink drawings become collectible artworks through iNKiNOB, and thoughtful visual identities are created through Graphic Design, helping people, brands, and businesses tell their stories with confidence, creativity, and clarity.
