Ekei Essien

I’m a Creative Graphic Designer with 7+ years of experience producing digital and print assets across social media, packaging, web, and presentations. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, with a strong grasp of typography, layout, and color theory that helps keep visuals consistent and effective.

In my current role at Ogabassey Services Limited (01/2024 to Current), I design weekly digital and print assets for campaigns like Awoof Thursday, Repair Deals, Deals of the Day, Unpopular Opinions, and Accessories You Need—using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, and ChatGPT. I collaborate with the marketing team on seasonal campaigns (Easter, Ramadan, Christmas), create packaging designs in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, develop branded internal collateral, and produce custom product graphics for e-commerce listings. I also integrate AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini Pro) into my creative workflow to generate hyper-realistic marketing visuals and improve turnaround time, while managing multiple concurrent projects.

Previously, as HOD ICT / Lead Graphic Designer / Social Media Manager at Exceeding Grace & Glory Ministry (01/2018 to 01/2025), I led end-to-end design for service themes, crusades, anniversaries, and concerts—creating fliers, banners, and social media creatives that stayed on-brand. I edited motion graphics and video content, managed the ministry’s social media presence, created paid ad creatives, and built/enforced brand guidelines across print, digital, and video. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Genetics and Biotechnology from the University of Calabar.
