About

Founded in 2019 after the success of my cultural emoji project Zouzoukwa, O’Plérou Studio was born from a passion for blending African cultures, modern design, and technology.

I started this creative digital atelier to push the boundaries of what design can do—not just aesthetically, but in terms of cultural representation and innovation.

At O’Plérou Studio, we specialize in custom emojis, bespoke typefaces, and brand identities for forward-thinking companies and socially-conscious organizations. From large global organizations like Instagram and the UNHCR to startups and businesses in Côte d’Ivoire, we bring authenticity and originality to every project we explore.

Whether we’re crafting an emoji that carries the essence of a region, designing a typeface inspired by the streets of an Ivorian city, or building a brand identity from the ground up, we make sure that the result is more than just visuals. It’s an experience, rooted in culture, that resonates with audiences on a deeper level.
