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.

I 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, I bring authenticity and originality to every project I explore.

Whether I'm 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, I 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.

Inspired?

I'd love to collaborate with you on your next project.
Reach out to create something culturally rich and creatively impactful!
