Background:

Buckit Investments was conceived as a disruptor in the financial technology sector, catering to individual investors seeking autonomy and personalized investment solutions. With the ever-evolving landscape of fintech, Buckit Investments recognized the need to establish a cohesive brand identity that would resonate with its target audience while allowing for scalability and adaptability as the company expanded its offerings and reach.

Challenge:

The primary challenge I faced was the creation of a comprehensive branding manual that would serve as a blueprint for maintaining consistency across all brand touchpoints. The manual needed to encapsulate the essence of Buckit Investments' values, mission, and vision while providing clear guidelines for visual communication and an introduction to the app concept.
