How it started

An ex-colleague from IROKO, who was then working at Watu, brought me in to help roll out a newly completed rebrand across the business.
I designed templates and sample materials to bring the brand guidelines to life, and supported recruitment by reviewing and interviewing candidates for the internal brand team. Once the team was in place, we collaborated on the first website refresh. As Watu expanded beyond African markets, I then supported a broader repositioning for an international audience, which led to the design of a new website built from the ground up. I helped bridge the transition from rebrand rollout to internal team capability, then supported the company’s next stage of international brand expansion.
