Development studio — Kigali, Rwanda
We build Webflow sites, AI and custom software — in Kigali, for the world.
kivu.dev is a small development studio run by Edvin Kjäll. We work with clients everywhere, and we build our own products alongside client work.
The studio
kivu.dev is a small team working from Kigali, Rwanda — named after Lake Kivu, on the country's western border. We keep the studio deliberately small: fewer projects, done carefully.
Before kivu.dev, Edvin co-founded EnlinkAI — AI that turns product data into content for Nordic commerce — and Inosida, a consultancy that has shipped lots of websites for Swedish clients, focused on Nordic web design. Same hands, new home.
Why Kigali? It's one of Africa's fastest-growing tech cities. English is an official language, the timezone shares its working day with Europe — and we believe the future is being built here.
The people
A small senior team — the people you meet are the people who build.

What we do
- Webflow — marketing sites, CMS builds and migrations. Pixel-accurate, fast, SEO-clean. White-label for agencies too.
- AI — LLM features, retrieval pipelines, agents and workflow automation that actually reach production.
- Software — web apps, APIs, dashboards and integrations. Documented, tested, yours.
- Advisory — scoping, architecture and technical due diligence, from people who still ship.
Our own products
Not just services — part of every week goes into software we fund, build and run ourselves.
- KV·01 — AI content operations. In development.
- KV·02 — delivery tooling. Stealth.

Questions
What does a project cost?
Every engagement starts with a short call and ends in a fixed quote — fixed-scope projects, monthly retainers or venture builds. No hourly billing, no surprises.
Who will we actually work with?
The people on this page. You talk directly to the engineers building your product — no account managers, no hand-offs.
Do you only build in Webflow?
Webflow is for marketing sites. For products, AI features and integrations we write custom software — and we advise on architecture and technical due diligence too.
What about timezones?
Kigali runs on CAT (UTC+2) — the same working day as Europe, with easy overlap into the US and Asia.
