Ukumi — Brand Development
Building a Brand for AI
The Challenge
Ukumi is an AI-driven video editor built for podcasters — designed to turn raw recordings into polished, professional episodes. The challenge was building a brand experience that could make an ambitious, technical product feel immediately legible to two very different audiences: new customers discovering what Ukumi could do, and investors evaluating its potential.
I personally crafted the full brand experience — designing a bold visual identity, an intuitive web interface, and conceptual animations that demonstrated Ukumi's capabilities. The result was a cohesive presentation that positioned Ukumi as an industry leader, inspiring confidence and enthusiasm in everyone who encountered it.
