Case Study: Creative Direction for Kwely, Inc.

B2B Made In Africa Wholesale Marketplace

Kwely global wholesale e-commerce marketplace B2B logo

Profile:

Kwely is an online B2B marketplace for handmade goods from Africa. After completing its $1M seed funding round, they were able to launch several new products from small makers across the continent.

This work represents supporting their wholesalers’ need for globally-minded branding and packaging. My travel experience in West Africa and conversational French language skills were assets.
