Rwanda
Message

At Bank of Kigali, I led delivery of BKreative, a national creative-economy financing platform launched with the Ministry of Youth and Arts and BK Foundation. It offers loans, asset finance, financial-literacy clinics and a national visual-identity open call.

I created the Bank’s staff and customer communication channels, including Life with BK, My BK Support and Made by BK. Within a year, they helped make Bank of Kigali the most followed and engaged-with bank in Rwanda.

I also built BK Studio’s in-house media and production team from scratch, cutting external production costs by about 60%. Earlier, I was design lead for the BK Mobile App and contributed to other customer-facing banking platforms.
