Message

At The Line, I design visual materials and digital content for exhibitions, events, and public art installations, keeping the work aligned with the organisation’s brand and mission. I also record and edit artist interviews and other audio-visual content for its digital guide and online channels.

At The Africa Centre, I contributed to the Centre’s relaunch programme and took the lead on several events highlighting the work of Black artists. I also worked with the communications team as an in-house graphic designer and illustrator, creating promotional materials for web, social media, and print.

As a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, I worked with clients including Oxfam, Cartooning for Peace, and the African Union, producing work from book covers to logos and brand identities. My independent projects included murals, illustration series, and an interactive installation at the Mosaic Rooms in London.
