Myra — Luxury Patisserie Branding and Identity for a Premium Saudi Concept
I led the brand naming, strategy and visual identity for Myra, a luxury patisserie brand with locations in Riyadh and Jeddah. The project focused on creating a distinctive hospitality brand that blends French patisserie craftsmanship with Saudi cultural insight, positioning Myra as a premium destination within the region’s growing food and beverage market.

Brand Strategy for a Premium Patisserie Concept
Myra was developed as a new luxury patisserie concept designed to stand apart in a competitive and fast-evolving Saudi market. As one of the region’s first drive-through premium dessert brands, the concept required a clear and confident positioning that would appeal to a discerning, experience-driven audience.
The strategy focused on elevating Myra beyond a traditional bakery, positioning it as a refined lifestyle brand rooted in indulgence, quality and attention to detail. Every aspect of the brand was designed to feel considered, from product experience through to environment and service.
Brand Naming with Meaning and Longevity
The name ‘Myra’ was carefully selected to reflect the brand’s ambition and emotional appeal. With meanings across Latin, Greek and Sanskrit including “extraordinary”, “abundance” and “beloved”, the name carries depth while remaining simple and elegant.
This multi-layered meaning supports the brand’s positioning as a premium offering, while ensuring it resonates across cultures and markets. It also provides flexibility for future growth, allowing the brand to scale beyond its initial locations in Saudi Arabia.
Hospitality Branding with Cultural Insight
The visual identity was developed with a strong understanding of the local market and cultural expectations. The aim was to create a hospitality brand that feels both globally sophisticated and regionally relevant.
Drawing inspiration from evening social culture, luxury retail environments and a regional appreciation for detail and craftsmanship, the identity balances richness with restraint. Deep tones, refined typography and subtle decorative elements work together to create a brand that feels elevated without being overdesigned.
Visual Identity and Brand Experience
The logo and wider design system were created to deliver consistency across all brand touchpoints, from packaging and in-store materials to signage and digital presence.
Gold accents and layered textures reflect the premium nature of the product offering, while a structured layout system ensures clarity and usability across formats. The result is a brand identity that supports both everyday operations and high-end customer expectations.
Brand Assets for Growth and Investment
To support Myra’s expansion, I developed a corporate profile designed to communicate the brand’s vision, positioning and commercial potential to investors and partners.
More than a presentation document, this acted as a strategic tool to define the business clearly and support its growth within the Saudi and wider GCC market.
A Luxury Food Brand Positioned for Expansion
Myra now stands as a distinctive hospitality brand within the Middle East, combining French patisserie influence with strong regional relevance.
By aligning brand strategy, naming and visual identity from the outset, the business is well positioned to scale, attract investment and build long-term recognition in the premium food and beverage space.
