Portrait of Naomi A.
Strategist · Mitra Studio

Naomi Adeyemi.

The why behind every redesign.

01 / About

Strategy first. Pixels after.

Profile

Runs strategy across the studio — quarterly performance audits, growth playbooks, competitor reads — for every Mitra Managed client. Translates messy market signals into a list of moves the design team can actually build against. Every site we ship has her fingerprints on the brief.

Black, Lagos-born, MBA at INSEAD Singapore. Spent four years in brand strategy consulting before joining Mitra in 2025. Believes design without strategy is just decoration — and that most cafe websites die from the second one, not the first.

02 / The Audit

A five-step quarterly read on every Managed client.

01. Search

What does your cafe rank for, locally?

I pull every keyword you show up for inside a 3km radius — and every one your top three competitors own that you don't. We fix the gap, not the volume.

02. Speed

How fast are you, vs the cafe two blocks over?

Lighthouse scores in isolation are useless. I benchmark you against the nearest five competitors so we know whether you're winning or quietly losing the loading-screen war.

03. Story

Does the site say what makes you different in five seconds?

I run the squint test on your hero. If a stranger can't tell what kind of cafe you are before the kettle boils, the copy is the bottleneck — not the design.

04. Signal

Where is traffic coming from, and is it the right traffic?

I read GA4, GBP insights, and Instagram referrals together. Most cafes optimize for the wrong channel for six months before noticing. We notice in week one.

05. Sell

What is the site actually asking visitors to do?

Reservations, deliveries, walk-ins, weddings — pick one primary action per page. Sites that hedge convert at half the rate of sites that commit. We commit.

03 / Patterns

Three things I always find.

Pattern 01

"Your hours are wrong on Google. Always."

Pattern 02

"Your hero photo is of the food. It should be of the room."

Audit hit-rate: 7 / 10 cafes
Pattern 03

"You have a menu PDF. You should have a menu page."
