INTEGRATION OF ART AND FINANCE

One of the goals of AFIREFI has been to take what has typically been seen as a cold and rigid topic and make it approachable, creative and inspiring.

 

From the very beginning of brand development, the vision was to integrate the artistic illustrations of Cathy Cummins into the brand essence. Her nature inspired, colourful and fun creations would bring to life the topic of Personal Finance throughout the branding by illuminating the Finance Courses and Tools offered by AFIREFI.

LOGO DEVELOPMENT

Bringing warmth to the world of Finance.

 

Implicit in the name AFIREFI is a mission to ignite a passion for personal finances

 

Words such as finance, accounts and budgets typically conjure a very stark, serious and cold topic that many people find intimidating and unapproachable. As a solution, AFIREFI aspires to have a warmer, more personable and holistic approach to a topic that actually affects everyone from every walk of life.
