VISUAL IDENTITY / SELF-INITIATED CONCEPT
Under the Haik.
One identity, across every detail.
A visual identity study for my own brand: an illustrated mark, olive lettering and warm neutrals, carried from a small staff-shirt badge to packaging and printed stationery. These mockups explore how the identity can feel consistent across different materials and scales.
Colour & typography
Dark olive, cream and charcoal give the illustrated mark a quiet, recognisable presence. Classic serif lettering brings the name into the same visual language across stationery, fabric and kraft packaging.
From mark to material
A compact logo and name sit on the wearer’s left chest for the staff T-shirt. Larger centred arrangements suit the tote and packaging, while the business cards keep generous space around the identity. These are AI-assisted presentation mockups; production artwork is prepared separately for printing.
03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE BUILD
A design eye.
A technical mindset.
Hi, I’m ken.lou, the designer and developer behind Under the Haik. I’m based in Dubai, with a background in cybersecurity, systems administration and networking.
That background helps me think beyond the page: how a website is hosted, how it is maintained and how the parts connect. I bring that care to websites that are straightforward to use and practical to manage.
What that means for your project
Built on solid foundations
Infrastructure knowledge and security awareness inform hosting choices, updates and how forms and integrations are handled.
Ready for real screens
Layouts, navigation and images are considered across phones, tablets and desktop screens.
Clear from the start
We agree on scope and priorities, with clear communication through design, review and handover.
Help beyond the design
I can handle domains, hosting and deployment, with accounts owned by you and clear instructions for future changes.

Yes. Every website includes a responsive layout, with the main pages and visitor journeys checked on desktop and phone screens.
How much does a website cost?
Introductory prices start at 350 AED for a one-page website and 500 AED for a simple business website. The 1,000 AED launch bundle combines a website and starter visual identity. Domain and provider costs are quoted separately.
How do we get started?
Ready to begin? Send me your business details, the pages you need, your budget and your preferred launch date. We agree on a written scope and quote before work starts.

What happens after launch?
You receive the agreed files and account access. You have 14 days to report faults in the agreed work. Content updates are quoted before work begins.

A good website starts
with a conversation.
Tell me what your business offers, what visitors should do, which pages or features you need, and whether you have a logo, text and photos. Include your budget and desired launch date so I can prepare a written quote.
