#1 Get the foundation right. #2 Build a system around it. #3 Then scale it everywhere. It’s all fun and vibes from here 😎

Imagine working here as a Snr. brand designer, designing and watching all these ideas take shape in real time.
What happens when one of Africa’s most consequential companies outgrows its own story? With Orange by Marmalade as strategy partners, we helped shape @TheStackGroupHQ; a parent identity that sits above Paystack and a family of technology ventures.

Going beyond the obvious. As AI makes design easy, it also makes it easier to look like everyone else. Branding is the difference. Best time to be a brand designer 😎

Almost a year ago… I had this idea for a lifestyle payment brand The goal was simple: freedom. Then nostalgia kicked in - paper planes I owned it by slipping a “z” into the tail. Not my strongest mark, but I leaned into it and built the visual world around it. Did I cook?
Not just another fintech. Zend is your lifestyle payment app - built for freedom, travel, and global access. Make money move free. Just zend it! #ZendApp #globalpayments #visualidentity #branddesign #modernbranding #lifestyleapp

My first branding project ever… The brief: “my guy, I need a logo for my exchange brand, Balex.” Me: bring it on… (I had just finished watching some YouTube tutorials 😅) No strategy, no system. Just iterations and small copy-paste until it felt right. Somehow… it worked.
