FROM THE BOTTOM
NOW WE'RE HERE
2001
The Praktis was formed by 2 college students
Founders Tobias Rose of NCCU and Daryl Wade of Pitt were inspired by thought leaders in website development who were creating engaging websites. They wanted to push the limits on creativity by telling stories in a more appealing manner.
2006
The Praktis rebranded and Kompleks Creative is born
When considering the future of The Praktis, Tobias wanted to focus on the creative aspect of the business by making graphic design its core. He believed that design was a way to take complex thoughts and simplify them into a practical solution. After falling in love with the phonetic spelling of the word complex, he made a few visual changes to come up with the new company name and logo.
2006
Kompleks Creative expands and moves into first office
As the workload increased, colocation was vital for collaboration, so we moved into our first Durham office. After a couple of years in our first office, we moved across the hall to a larger space that better accommodated the size of our team.
2014
Kompleks Creative moves to 106 West Parrish St in Downtown Durham
Our team continued to grow, as did our capabilities. We determined that a Downtown Durham office on historic Black Wall Street was most suitable for our strategic endeavors and more accessible to our clients. We love being in the heart of Durham.
2016

We have worked with hundreds of clients that offer a variety of services. Not only are we committed to client success, but also to being a steward of the Durham community.
