Halisi - Zimbabwe

Halisi - Zimbabwe

This project emerged from a collaboration between the visionary owners and my design expertise, driven by a shared goal: to transform a fast food restaurant into an unparalleled dining experience.


Tasked with rebranding and interior design, I embarked on a journey that would redefine Halisi's identity, setting it apart within the bustling Imbali Mall in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

The owners sought to transcend the ordinary, to create a space that not only served food but also enveloped customers in a sensory journey.

The task encompassed reimagining the brand's visual identity, capturing the essence of "Halisi"—Swahili for authenticity. The interior design needed to be more than just aesthetic; it was to be a canvas that echoed the brand's spirit and stood out amidst the million-strong foot traffic of Imbali Mall.

The fusion of creative ingenuity with cultural resonance became the essence of Halisi's rebrand and interior design.

From the meticulously crafted brand identity that resonated with culinary tradition to the interior design that fused culture and modernity, every element was a brushstroke of innovation. This venture went beyond aesthetics; it painted a picture of cultural heritage, elevated through design, that now stands proudly in the heart of Imbali Mall, welcoming its million-strong monthly visitors to the embrace of authenticity.
