At Aura Ads, I develop social media content and digital assets for clients, producing 30–50 assets monthly. I also implemented an AI-driven design tool to reduce project turnaround time and improve efficiency across projects.

At City Unscripted, I contributed to a rebrand with a logo redesign and product interface updates, and designed multi-channel campaign materials. I also designed website UI in Figma in collaboration with web developers.

Across my work with Renue, MSM International / Endly, Simunye Media and Rubybox, I’ve created digital and print campaign visuals, brand packages, websites and social content. My experience also includes video editing and production, animation art direction, and AI-assisted creative production.
