I got so much more than I expected- Radina even designed me some unique e-signature GIFs and a very genius bilingual Arabic/English logo design which my Middle Eastern clients love and has now become so synonymous with my agency.

Need a brand revamp?
I’m a fractional Chief Creative & Brand Officer working with purpose-driven tech founders to elevate their brand. I don’t just design logos—I shape brands that resonate. brands that are loved.
From positioning and messaging to creative leadership across every touchpoint, I’m your strategic creative lead for brand storytelling, pitch decks, product, GTM, content strategy and anything brand or marketing related.
I bring 15+ years of digital advertising and brand building expertise. From my experience at award-winning agencies in Dubai and London to leading creative and growing brands from the ground up in fast-moving AI and Web3 startups.
I’ve led global campaigns and content strategies for brands like Huawei, HSBC, and Bose across EMEA, APAC, the US, and the UK. Working with remote teams around the world.
For the last 5+ years, I’ve been bringing big-brand energy to early-stage tech startups in Web3 and AI like DeFi, MusicTech, GigEconomyTech, EdTech, S*xTech, BraTech, DatingTech to name a few, and many more innovative and community-driven projects.
Why Work With a fractional chief creative / brand officer?
Because you need big brand energy and someone who’s been leading creative campaigns and marketing strategy for global brands to help your brand grow to the same heights.
Without the weight and price tag of a creative agency.
Just a clear and efficient senior-level-part-time board member (unofficial or official); a founder’s dream come true: a bionic creative arm to come up with great ideas and take over tasks that need a creative / marketing brain, and an expert touch.
I bridge product, brand, sales, and marketing so your message lands clearly and consistently. Through strategic creative leadership, I help you:
Define a clear and differentiated brand positioning that will help you grow the brand, create new channels, new products, all based on cohesive design and messaging, and storytelling.
Build a memorable, and meaningful brand identity (verbal and visual identity) that feels unmistakably you, even if it’s a refresh. It should feel like a successful makeover.
Create consistency across teams, channels, and experiences.
Grow a community that loves your brand — even when they are not buying your product — that proudly advocates for you.
Increase user acquisition and retention, with purpose-led messaging that speaks to them.
Strengthen your case for funding to investors by showing a brand that looks as good as it sounds, and presents like a category leader from day one.
“why is purpose-led messaging so important in branding?”
because Brands with a strong purpose massively outperform brands without.
You can ask chatgpt about it.
Research shows that purpose-driven brands grow faster and outperform competitors — based on a McKinsey report and a Kantar one which showed double the growth over 10+ years vs brands without audience-facing purpose. Purpose isn’t fluff; it’s a super-growth lever for your business.
If you aren’t communicating your purpose yet; I’ll help you refine it and show you how to communicate it, and weave it into your brand and messaging so you can scale with clarity and momentum in a beautiful way.
Remember: People love to buy from purpose-driven brands. And they love talking about them.
Let’s grow
Your brand,
and Your business.
If you’re looking for a strategic creative partner to elevate your brand and business, not an agency, but an embedded-part-time Creative and Brand Lead with a stellar team to lean on (when needed), then look no further.
I’ll develop your brand in a way that is memorable, and meaningful. Taking it from a brand that’s costing you money (by not standing out and resonating) with one that supports steady growth of your business. A brand that is consistently telling the same brand story across all channels, and your audience loving it. *Chef’s kiss*

asking yourself, “is this the right moment for a strategic brand revamp?”
This package works best if:
Product is live and scaling
Brand is starting to slowly growth (sales, hiring, clarity)
You’re a founder who wants ownership taken off their plate
Decisions can be made quickly
Clarity > endless options
This is not the right moment if:
You’re still pre-PMF
Brand decisions need full consensus
You’re mainly looking for execution support
You want multiple directions explored in parallel
Rule of thumb:
If brand feels like friction, not decoration — timing is right.
