RESEARCH
The research phase focused on understanding Makeda’s architectural vision, cultural references, and creative territory.
We explored African and feminine symbols, organic forms, and the relationship between architecture, nature, and identity — mapping how these elements could be translated into a contemporary and professional brand language.
This process helped define the conceptual boundaries of the project, ensuring the identity would communicate ancestry, strength, and sensitivity without relying on clichés or purely decorative references.
DESIGN
The brand was structured as a flexible system, capable of evolving across different applications and communication materials.
From digital presence to institutional materials, the identity maintains consistency while allowing variation and growth.
This approach ensures Makeda’s brand remains coherent, adaptable, and relevant as the studio expands its portfolio and presence.
