What I do

Four ways to stick.

Logo & identity

A logo that works everywhere.

Ready for signs, shirts and screens, with a one-page brand sheet in your colours. Concepts come as clear cards, one idea each.

  • Logo suite
  • Colours & fonts
  • Brand sheet
Social media

Posts people stop for.

Posts, stories and templates that look like you. Built to be repeated, so your feed stays consistent without me on every post.

  • Feed posts
  • Stories
  • Canva templates
Apparel & merch

Wear the brand.

Tees, hoodies and uniforms, with tech packs a factory can quote from. Artwork prepared for screen print, DTF and embroidery.

  • Tech packs
  • Uniforms
  • Print-ready files
Websites

Sites that get the quote.

Design, build and copy for business websites, set up so visitors know how to ask for a quote. See the Milano Group rebuild below.

Milano Group logo, brand and website

Client
Milano Group, uniform manufacturer, Sharjah (since 1999)
My role

The brief

Milano has made uniforms in Sharjah since 1999, but its website did not show it. Pages repeated the same keyword blocks, claims had no proof, and there was no clear way to ask for a quote.

What I did

  • Redesigned the Milano logo and wrote the brand guidelines, so the site, print and social all look like one company.
  • Restructured the site around how buyers search: one page per industry (corporate, hospitality, hospital, security, school, safety, workwear), plus services and brands.
  • Rebuilt the service pages with original copy and FAQs. The corporate uniform page grew from about 330 to about 1,150 words.
  • Replaced the repeated text blocks with a specific offer and a "Get a Quote" path in the navigation, the hero and the footer.
  • Rewrote titles and meta descriptions, added internal links, and published a National Day landing page and a blog series.
  • Generated and uploaded all page imagery to lift the visuals across every industry page.

New logo and brand guidelines

A bolder wordmark and a 17-page guideline covering logo construction, versions, a strict monochrome palette, Montserrat typography, and how the mark goes on uniforms, stationery and social.

The brief

A new UAE trading company covering safety equipment, chemicals and workwear needed a credible brand from day one: a logo, a quote-led website and documents that look as professional as the site.

What I did

  • Designed the Globix logo and its six logo versions.
  • Designed and built the site, then restructured it into a visual catalogue: product categories with images and brand lists, and quote requests instead of a shop.
  • Wrote Brand Guidelines v1.0: charcoal and orange palette, Montserrat typography, voice and logo-use rules.
  • Designed the stationery and a full set of branded business documents, so quotes and invoices match the brand.
  • Set up the technical foundation: DNS and hosting on Cloudflare, domain email, and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).

The brief

A home bakery taking orders through WhatsApp and Instagram needed a look people could recognise and a clear way to order, so each offer worked as an ad on its own.

What I did

  • Designed the "B" logo, in use on the Instagram account since at least June 2022.
  • Built a repeatable poster layout: one product photo, one headline, prices and validity dates, and the Instagram and WhatsApp contact strip.
  • Produced the October 2026 offers: Gift Something Sweet, Brownie Deals and the new Fudge Cake launch.

Ownership

My role
Poster design, menu card and Instagram content

The brief

A small food business with many products needed one poster format that could be reused for every jar, with the price, pack size and ordering route on every post.

What I did

  • Built one poster template: bold condensed headline, a price burst, packaging sizes, "Order now" and the WhatsApp number, so each new product takes minutes.
  • Used the same template across the product range, with a separate style for the shami kabab and cutlets.
  • Designed a five-page menu card with dishes, serving sizes and prices, grouped by course. Two pages are shown below.
