Main Goal
Bombshell Boxing is evolving into Wicked Rose, a name that echoes inclusivity and power. They want a website and brand identity that ties in their mission, and values. They’re breaking free from gender norms and creating a space women can express themselves in martial arts without settling for ill-fitting gear. Bombshell Boxing is redefining standards and is in need of new branding to help do the job.

- Conducting market research and competitive analysis, and brainstorming ideas for the new brand identity
- Meeting with mentor judges and the founder to receive feedback and implement changes into the sketches
- Develop the final deliverables of a logo, brand personality, typography, and website design
