A local artisan brand that specializes in creating and selling handmade decor and accessories, crafted with care and attention to detail, using high-quality materials to bring warmth and character to any space.

Meiva started as a passion project during COVID-19, serving as a creative outlet that quickly grew into something much more significant. Initially, it was a way to reconnect with my inner child and create without limits. What began as an effort to make my living space more comfortable has now evolved into the thriving business it is today.

Market Analysis

Is there demand?

Creating products that feel personal starts with a deep understanding of user needs and desires, focusing on finding opportunities to offer affordable yet unique items without over-saturation.

Brand Identity

Drawing Inspiration

Crafting a distinctive brand was one of the main focuses to ensure it stood out and remained memorable to customers. The name was inspired by many influences but ultimately pays tribute to my mother's essence and the meaning of her name, "flower." This connection led me to the month of May, symbolizing renewal and inviting everyone to experience the creations.

Branding

Colour Palette

Branding colours were chosen around the colour linen since linen is a versatile and timeless colour choice that aligns perfectly with the brand's natural and organic aesthetic, resonating well with sustainability and eco-consciousness.

Product Exploration

Let's Experiment..

Researching emerging trends, customer preferences, and new design concepts helps identify opportunities for new products or improvements to existing ones. Testing phases played a key role in understanding audience preferences before moving to mass production.
