About El Mehdi

Designer and art director, I help brands and entrepreneurs create strong, coherent, and lasting visual identities. My approach goes far beyond aesthetics: I design brand systems intended to tell a story, structure a positioning, and support concrete business objectives.

With a multidisciplinary background, I work in art direction, branding, illustration, motion design, and the creation of visual content for digital, advertising, or publishing. This dual culture of design and communication allows me to have a global vision of projects, from strategy to execution.

I've had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned agencies, media, and brands, as well as with entrepreneurs and project leaders whom I support from the initial stages of reflection. I regularly work on creating identities from scratch: naming, logo, graphic charter, print and digital variations, animated content, and communication materials.

Accustomed to demanding environments and tight deadlines, I work methodically, autonomously, and with a keen eye for detail. I pay particular attention to visual consistency, message clarity, and the quality of deliverables, to ensure results that are creative, functional, and aligned with the brand image.

My goal is simple: to help my clients differentiate themselves, gain credibility, and create memorable visual experiences, while remaining pragmatic and results-oriented. I favor clear, fluid collaborations based on trust, whether for one-off projects or long-term support.

    Beldi Fusion Kitchen — Brand Identity Creation and Development

    Contacted directly by the project owner during its conceptualization phase, I supported the brand from its strategic positioning, actively participating in the name selection after several days of research and creative exploration.

    The name Beldi Fusion Kitchen embodies the idea of a revisited Moroccan restaurant, rooted in tradition yet resolutely contemporary.

    I then handled the complete creation of the visual identity: a logo with a strong artistic signature, an original, balanced, and distinctive graphic charter designed to establish a memorable and lasting image.

    The project quickly became a strong reference in Marrakech, and then nationally, thanks to a coherent and differentiating identity.

    Continuing this work, I designed an innovative editorial menu concept, blending gastronomy and magazine style: a seasonal menu, renewed every three months, designed to be read as much as browsed for ordering.

    This innovative format, difficult for competitors to replicate, enhanced the customer experience and the restaurant's premium image.

    A project undertaken with great creative freedom and strong personal commitment, which became a professional favorite.
