Enso – Mindful Eatery

Enso – Mindful Eatery

Overview & Challenge

Overview & Challenge

A rigid brand identity stood in the way of Enso’s vibrant concept and culinary appeal. Despite serving fresh, healthy Asian-inspired dishes rooted in mindfulness, Enso’s branding lacked soul and visibility. The original identity didn’t reflect the meaning behind its name—the Enso circle of Zen—or resonate with its Business Bay audience. With low brand recall, flat visuals, and zero spatial storytelling, the restaurant struggled to communicate its unique value.

Approach

Approach

Approach

We reimagined Enso from the ground up—visually, verbally, spatially, and digitally.

We designed a soft, gender-neutral color palette and an airy logo inspired by the Zen Enso circle, paired with a descriptive tagline to clarify the offer. Spatial branding included concept literature on the glass facade, custom signage, and a modular overhead menu built from interchangeable plates for visibility and speed. We introduced origami-style packaging for their signature sushi burrito, created a thoughtful staff uniform, and rolled out high-res food photography for content creation and delivery platforms. Every touchpoint was crafted to reflect the brand’s mindful spirit.

Outcome

From hidden gem to mindful destination.

Enso’s transformation led to a visible increase in foot traffic, social engagement, and user-generated content. Sales multiplied, the brand gained local recognition, and its inviting new identity attracted a loyal community of health-conscious diners in Business Bay.
