Opened in February 2026, Co Chocolat Cafe is the newest branch of the café located in Al Zeina, Abu Dhabi. Built around the idea of connection, creativity, and elevated everyday experiences, the space goes beyond traditional café dining by combining specialty desserts and drinks with interactive chocolate-making workshops for celebrations, team gatherings, and community experiences.
For this project, I worked on a range of print and digital design materials to help shape the visual identity and overall brand presence of the new branch.

Design Process
My design approach focused on creating a visual direction that felt warm, refined, and experience-driven while keeping the brand's visual identity.
I began by exploring typography, layout systems, and color studies that could reflect the café’s elevated atmosphere.
For the menu templates, I created flexible and easy-to-update layouts that could support future menu changes and seasonal offerings. During the concept stage, I create AI-generated placeholder images to help visualize composition and overall art direction before final photography was introduced.
For social media, I proposed a visual direction centered around clean typography, minimal layouts, and product-focused compositions. In collaboration with the marketing head, I designed static posts and reel covers that helped establish a cohesive and recognizable online presence for the brand. I also designed several promotional flyers, including the workshop flyer seen below, featuring photography taken by the marketing head.
Overall, the project focused on building a cohesive visual experience across both print and digital platforms — one that reflects the café’s visual identity, welcoming atmosphere, and modern identity.
