As co-founder of TMPL, a new skincare brand created to address the needs and concerns of men of colour, I played a crucial role in establishing the brand since it’s initial launch in 2021. The brand quickly grew a cult following as men and women alike gravitated towards our unique brand promise of “self-care for the mandem” and was featured in numerous global media outlets including British GQ, Wallpaper* and BBC Dragon’s Den.

With early investment secured and in the lead up to launching a new and improved product range, we felt the timing was right for a rebrand in order to firmly position TMPL as a brand fit for the culture.
