## About

```text
At MAFAKU, I keep the foundation’s visual identity and messaging consistent across communication channels. I built the brand guidelines and design system for the foundation and MAFAKU Culture.

At Gatefield, I led design and branding across projects and campaigns, keeping each within one visual identity. I also created design systems and print-ready prepress files.

My work includes editorial and publication design, infographics, and data visualisation for advocacy, development, and health organizations. I’ve designed campaign materials for projects including What Naija Women Want and CycleHer Foundation.
