Traditional Branding vs Personal Branding vs Founder Led Branding. What’s Changed, and Why It Matters Now

For years, traditional branding was enough to make a business look credible. Now, that’s changed. In this piece, I break down the shift from traditional branding to personal branding and founder led branding, what each one actually means, how they differ, and why they matter so much more for women in business today.

Hey everyone!! I'm so excited to let you know that I've teamed up with Adobe to host a design challenge on Instagram called 'Express your Creativity' You'll need to create a carousel post on Adobe Express about the topic: What fuels your creativity? It can be anything about your inspirations, routines, emotions, or even the chaos behind your process.

This isn’t just about making something look good. It’s about expressing an idea, building a narrative, and creating something that feels like you. Read more about the challenge here!

This is a quick snippet from a larger explainer video focusing on West African art. My goal with this sequence was to translate the static, sophisticated feel of a high-end magazine layout into a dynamic, educational narrative.

Even after completing the project, I still love the editorial aesthetic and this warm, earthy color palette of deep ochre, muted beige, and charcoal. It builds a visual bridge between archival textures and modern motion graphics. 🙌
