The $CODB

📓 The Project:

$CODB, founded by Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and Topicals CEO Olamide Olowe, is a multidisciplinary creative services platform built to empower creative entrepreneurs. Designed as an evolving digital resource, the initiative helps its audience organize, fund, and scale their ideas with clarity and confidence.

This project centered on translating broad conceptual ideas into practical, high-value tools, all while working within an existing brand system. The focus was on creating resources that were both useful and visually compelling — materials that reflect $CODB’s balance of creativity, strategy, and forward-thinking design.

📦 The Deliverables

  • Downloadable decks and workbooks for the first edition of $CODB’s digital resources

  • Conceptual drafts built around the thematic lens of “cost”

  • Refining and applying the independently developed $CODB brand system across final materials
