What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my design expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on impactful projects that drive brand success and community engagement.

With over ten years of corporate experience, I have developed a strong expertise in managing impactful projects funded by prestigious donor agencies and international organizations. My journey has been marked by successfully leading design teams to create and implement solutions that consistently exceed project objectives. I pride myself on being a proactive self-starter, capable of taking on projects independently, which fosters a collaborative and efficient working environment.

Currently, as a Senior Design Expert, I spearhead the revamp of branding for CORN West Africa, ensuring consistency across all communication materials and digital platforms. My role involves developing comprehensive brand guidelines and managing the organization's website to enhance user experience. I have also contributed to significant projects such as the national COVID-19 vaccine public campaign, where I led the design team in creating impactful communication materials that supported risk communication efforts.

Throughout my career, I have focused on creating visually appealing designs that engage audiences and enhance comprehension. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams ensures that design outputs align with organizational objectives. I am committed to continuous learning and mentorship, developing templates and resources that support knowledge-sharing and improve design processes within my teams.
