Yes, remotely. For the UAE and Saudi Arabia I design Arabic and English versions of the name, logo and type so they work as one brand, including right-to-left layouts. For a café or restaurant that means a logo, type, color and imagery where the Arabic and the English carry the same weight, so neither reads as a translation of the other. A brand identity takes 4–10 weeks.

Strategy, a logo system, color, type, imagery and voice, with brand guidelines (PDF) and a Figma library with source files at handover. For a coffee shop I test it on the cup, the shopfront and the menu board; for a coffee roaster, on a coffee bag. A full bag range, where only the origin, roast and notes change per coffee, is the separate packaging design service (2–4 weeks). The closest example in my work is Tong, a coffee shop identity with a handwritten red logo, cups, packaging and a shopfront. I show it for its sector, not as a Saudi or UAE client.

Yes. Packaging design takes 2–4 weeks. A Saudi date pack starts from the Arabic label, since SFDA.FD/GSO 9 requires labels in Arabic with any other language identical to it, and in Qassim, buyers say cartons now show grade, weight and variety at a glance. The Saudi Dates Mark is a quality mark the National Center for Palms and Dates grants after food safety checks, valid for one year, so it is earned, not designed. I have no date brand in my portfolio; the closest packaging work is ChocoBloom chocolate and Bright Fizz soda cans.

Yes, remotely, with proposals in USD or AED. Dubai welcomed 19.59 million international overnight visitors in 2025, and the tastes of nearly 200 nationalities shape its food and beverage sector, so menus and signs must work for many readers. UAE food labels must be in Arabic or in Arabic and English, and since January 1, 2026 single-use plastic cups, lids, cutlery and Styrofoam food boxes are banned, so cup and box designs start from allowed materials. Your lawyer files the trademark with the Ministry of Economy and Tourism; I hand over clean files.

Yes. A rebrand takes 6–12 weeks: new positioning, a new logo system, color, type and guidelines that every branch can follow. If regulars love the name and the cup but the menu and signs look tired, a brand refresh in 3–6 weeks keeps what they recognize. In Saudi Arabia, I try the new identity on a sample menu with room for the SFDA caffeine figures and the salt and activity icons.

Yes, remotely, with calls in your working hours. The Eastern Province, which includes Al Khobar, placed 16% of Saudi Arabia’s delivery orders in the second quarter of 2026, so a Khobar café’s mark has to read as a small tile in a delivery app as well as in the raised letters that Saudi sign requirements ask for on the shopfront.

It depends on the scope: a logo, a full identity or a rebrand; one branch or several; one script or two; and whether cups, bags, boxes or date cartons are designed now or later. After a free 30-minute call you get a fixed written proposal with one price, the timeline and the deliverables, and the price never changes mid-project.
