Up last but not least in our collaboration with , we crafted a bespoke brand for chef Zeenat at .

Zeenat specialises in crafting homemade Nigerian and Ghanaian dishes deeply rooted in her upbringing. Passed down through generations of women in her family, these recipes hold a unique regional authenticity. Inspired by this tradition, we incorporated stacked dishes into her logo design. Additionally, Zeenat prepares sheeto, a fiery chilli jam sauce perfect for both dipping and cooking, adding an extra layer of flavour to her culinary repertoire.

More than just brand design, this work represents a heartfelt journey of empowerment and fulfilment for all involved. Migrateful is on a mission to support migrants and refugees on their journey to integration and independence by enabling them to teach cookery classes to the public.

Next up in our collaboration with is talented chef Mural . This year we've worked with a number of talented refugee & migrant chefs to create brands that enable their businesses to grow.
