What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead design projects, mentor creatives, and produce high-impact brand visuals in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a graphic designer and illustrator with over a decade of experience creating compelling visual identities and illustrations. I combine technical expertise with creative vision to produce designs that engage audiences and strengthen brands.

As Technical Manager and Graphic Designer at Quatic Solutions Ltd since 2020, I have led technical projects and delivered visuals using Adobe Creative Suite and Figma that supported client success. My portfolio of freelance and full-time work includes concepting and executing designs for high-profile clients that drove measurable brand growth.

I have taught and mentored aspiring designers as an instructor for LearnAdobeWithKen and as a part-time instructor/TA at Takoradi Technical University, helping students develop practical design and illustration skills. I prioritize mentorship and capacity building within the design community.

I continually expand my skills through professional development, including recent training from ALX AI, and remain focused on delivering innovative, high-quality designs that elevate brand recognition and customer engagement.
