What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead visual strategy and creative direction—using UI/UX and data visualization to turn complex information into clear, high-impact narratives for advocacy and global campaigns.

I’m a Senior Graphic Designer who bridges technical data and visual storytelling to influence policy. As a Senior Graphics Lead at PanAfrican Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), I delivered major global campaign assets for COP summits and helped increase engagement across 51 national platforms.

I’m driven by making complex look simple, using a “rare blend of coding logic and aesthetic precision” to dominate the digital advocacy space. I spearheaded the visual strategy for continental climate advocacy—transforming dense policy data into high-impact narratives for an over 1,000-organization network—while leading campaign creative direction, building brand-consistent templates, and mentoring designers to international diplomacy and grassroots mobilization standards.
