    paper Rebrand & Visual Identity Roam

    In 2022, I led the full rebrand of Roam, Africa’s leading electric motorcycle and energy company (formerly Opibus). The company needed a modern, memorable identity aligned with its mission and local market.

    I developed the new name, logo, and visual identity system. Combining bold, functional forms with Kenya’s signature orange hues. My work spanned brand strategy, design execution, and production of assets for digital and print.

    The rebrand successfully positioned Roam as the most recognizable electric mobility brand in Africa.
