About

I’m David Owolabi, a brand strategist and creative director with 6 years of experience building visual identities and communication systems for brands across tech, cybersecurity, healthcare, hospitality, construction, and publishing. I’m the founder of The 10X Brand, where I lead strategy, creative direction, and content—helping teams turn clear positioning into consistent design and compelling storytelling.

I also enjoy hands-on creative leadership, from designing brand systems and sub-brands to mentoring emerging leaders through my community, Young Emerging Leaders. With an engineering background, I bring a structured, system-first approach to brand work—so guidelines, messaging, and visuals stay aligned as brands grow and scale.
