What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead inclusive design and co-creation, build accessible visual products, and scale impact through games and communications.

I am a human-centered designer and co-founder of Urithi Studio with extensive experience creating inclusive visual communications, accessibility-focused publications, and game-based tools for behavior change across NGOs and international partners.

My work spans branding, print and digital design, co-creation facilitation, and accessible document production for organizations including Light for the World, Human Rights Watch, Chapter 4 Uganda, LSE, and several development actors, with notable projects in disability inclusion, gender and nutrition games, and educational comics.
