Premium Brand Identity Design for Nairo Roast Kenyan Coffee

Nairo Roast – Premium Kenyan Coffee Brand Identity

I designed a complete visual identity for Nairo Roast, a Nairobi-based specialty coffee brand focused on single-origin Kenyan beans and community storytelling. The challenge was to create a look that feels modern and premium while honoring Kenyan heritage, avoiding clichés like overused safari motifs. I developed:

Primary logo: clean wordmark with a subtle bean-derived abstract mark

Secondary icon & color system (deep terracotta, forest green, warm beige + bold mustard accent)

Typography pairing: modern sans + elegant script

Applied mockups: coffee bag packaging, business card, Instagram post

Tools: Figma + Illustrator
