I’m Shalom Ike, a brand identity designer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with a research-first approach and a creative edge shaped by storytelling and community engagement. I translate market insights into compelling visual systems—logos, typography pairings, color palettes, and brand guidelines—so brands feel consistent, intentional, and easy to recognize across every touchpoint. I also enjoy writing and shaping narratives that connect people, having worked as a creative writer alongside my design practice. For remote work, I’m built for structured, asynchronous collaboration: I handle projects end-to-end from interpreting the brief and defining visual direction through execution, client feedback integration, and organized file handoff documentation.
