When I took on House of Duaa, the brief wasn't follower count. It was building a luxury fragrance brand people actually connect with.
Through a combination of:
- Strategic content built around scent as a feeling, not a product
- Daily community engagement, not scheduled and forgotten
- Influencer collaborations with creators whose homes matched the brand
- Email and retention layered underneath, so the audience was owned
Where it stands:
5,000+ followers in month one
9,686+ today
Real brand recognition in a category full of louder, better-funded names
Growth isn't luck. It's strategy, creativity and consistency doing their jobs at the same time.
Who's building something in a crowded category right now? Happy to share what worked.

Football Insider Branding ⚽️
Football Insider is one of the most widely recognised names in modern football media, with millions of followers across social platforms and a reputation built on breaking transfer news. As the brand expanded into a wider network of 19 sister brands, the need for a unified and scalable identity system became essential.
Using Football Insider as the master brand, I developed a central concept that brings “The Insider” to life. This led to a distinctive icon built from the letterforms ‘F’ and ‘I’, forming a figure standing over a football and pointing towards the brand name. This created a bold, ownable mark designed for instant recognition across digital platforms.
Buzzing to finally be sharing this 😄
Oh Man, this is outstanding work. I just thinking how you implemented this masterpiece.
Can a brand feel elevated and handmade at the same time?
For this homeware brand, the patterns aren't just decoration. Drawn by hand with a pencil texture, inspired by wood grain, sand, and natural fiber, then digitized into a system that scales without losing that organic quality.
When a brand is born to turn everyday objects into rituals, the identity has to FEEL that way too. Not just look it.
When you see something handmade in a brand, does it make you trust it more or less?
Branding 😍
Possibly one of my favourite projects to date, because the team at Rendair took an extensive brand guidelines doc and really unified everything so beautifully.
Good Job!
