Our expertise
KOA, Al Barari, Dubai
Comprehensive brand strategy for unique Dubai real estate
KOA represents a landmark branding and digital strategy project for a visionary mixed-use development in Al Barari, Dubai’s emerging luxury desert destination.
Our comprehensive approach began with establishing a distinctive visual identity that would define KOA’s positioning across a multi-year development programme. Working collaboratively between our London studio and on-site in Dubai, we directed bespoke location photography that authentically captured the distinctive character and aesthetic of the Al Barari environment. This curated imagery has been integrated into large-format environmental signage throughout the development, establishing visual coherence across the physical landscape.
Building on this foundational brand work, we developed a sophisticated digital ecosystem comprising a primary corporate website and dedicated platforms for each operational business entity. The digital expression combines considered graphic design with carefully selected typography, custom illustration, and refined web animation—creating a cohesive visual language that communicates the calibre and vision of the KOA portfolio.
The result is a comprehensive, strategically-aligned brand system that positions KOA as a premium, forward-thinking development within the Gulf’s luxury market.

Outliers VC, Dubai and Riyadh
Visionary investment and strategic events in the MENA region
Outliers Venture Capital is a globally-focused investment firm with a strategic mandate across the MENA region and the United States. The firm’s leadership sought a digital presence that authentically communicated their rigorous investment philosophy, distinctive market positioning, and commitment to supporting exceptional founders.
We developed a distinctive brand expression drawing inspiration from risograph printing—a characterful, analogue aesthetic defined by bold colour palettes and considered composition.
This visual language was enhanced through carefully orchestrated animation, creating a sophisticated digital experience that reflects the firm’s discerning approach to decision-making and founder partnership. The resulting website positions Outliers as a discerning, internationally-recognised investment firm with an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Presented in both English and Arabic, the platform delivers a refined user experience that mirrors the thoughtfulness and rigour of their investment strategy.
Building on this foundational work, we were commissioned to create the complete brand identity and event design for the Outliers Investor Summit, held in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter in October 2025. Our comprehensive approach encompassed every touchpoint—from invitations and event website through to digital collateral and environmental graphics. The Summit design extended the firm’s visual language, creating a cohesive branded environment that reinforced Outliers’ positioning as a premium investment partner within the Gulf investment ecosystem.

Strategic technology investment for regional growth
Anamcara is a technology investment firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi, with strategic operations across the GCC and Europe. Led by founder Annelie Ajami, the firm specialises in identifying and scaling innovative technology platforms that empower SMEs and retail enterprises across the region.
We created a sophisticated brand identity that reflects Anamcara’s role as a connector and enabler of business growth. The visual system centres on a carabiner symbol—representing the secure connections and institutional support that define the firm’s investment philosophy.
The brand’s distinctive visual language features curated illustrations depicting the diverse business ecosystems where Anamcara’s portfolio companies create impact: retail shops, hospitality venues, professional services. Each illustration represents real opportunities for regional SMEs to achieve sustainable growth through technology-enabled solutions.
“Working with Richard is a dream. Richard is a visionary and has an uncanny ability to put it all perfectly into words. He is incredibly eloquent communicating ideas, concepts and designs. He immerses himself completely into your project. This makes working with him a real privilege.
“I wouldn’t classify myself as the ideal client – I was indecisive at times and threw various curveballs. But Richard is a true professional. He is very calm and always receptive to new ideas. He’s also just a great person with the best energy.
“Working together was one amazing adventure and the result is beyond anything I ever imagined. I want to do it again.”
