What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow my design skills and contribute to innovative projects.

I'm Maryrita Gatwiri Mukasa, a dedicated Graphic and UI/UX Designer based in Nairobi, Kenya. With a strong foundation in branding, web design, and user interfaces, I have successfully created UI prototypes for real projects, built user flows, wireframes, and clickable prototypes using Adobe XD. My passion for design drives me to bring ideas to life through modern, user-friendly visuals, from social media ads to responsive websites.

As the Founder and Lead Designer at Twishy Graphics, I transformed my solo creative hustle into a trusted freelance brand. I manage the entire creative process, from client briefing to design delivery, while promoting my services through social media and word-of-mouth. My experience includes producing over 100 branded visuals for social media, designing high-quality graphics, videos, and layouts that significantly increased client engagement and brand consistency.

Previously, I worked as a Junior UI/UX Designer at Enigma Big Data Labs, where I contributed to designing user interfaces and prototypes for client-facing platforms. I supported UX research and user testing to refine layouts and improve usability. My journey in design has equipped me with the skills to create impactful visual content and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
