Multidisciplinary designer and animal-health graduate with UI/UX, graphic design, and teaching experience.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am an animal-health graduate who transitioned into product and graphic design, bringing practical teaching and volunteer experience to multidisciplinary projects. I combine formal training in Animal Health with hands-on UI/UX and graphics work to create user-focused solutions.
I have one year of UI/UX design experience and two years in graphic design, delivering mobile and web interfaces using Figma, CorelDRAW, Photoshop and Canva. I redesigned a product interface (Edu Manager Solutions) and have completed remote product design and graphics projects.
My background includes three years of teaching, multiple volunteer roles with organizations such as Red Cross International and PEPSA, and internships in educational and veterinary settings. I have completed trainings in digital marketing, employability, core life skills and UNDSS BSAFE safety training.
I work well in teams, meet deadlines, and bring strong communication, leadership and problem-solving skills. I seek roles where I can blend design, education, and community-focused projects to deliver practical, well-crafted products.
