What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and growth in a collaborative environment.

My name is Patrick, and I am a passionate graphic designer and ICT and Digital trainer with a strong background in project management. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Benin and have extensive experience in teaching and training students in various ICT-Computer Science related topics. My journey in education has allowed me to reach over 15, 000 and counting students ranging from junior, college and working class professionals from 170+ countries, in just the Udemy platform alone where I strive to create engaging and effective and value adding training experiences for daily use.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, from A Designer and Creative Director, Digital trainer and even as a Protocol & Admin Assistant Intern at The Biggest West African Regional Organization, ECOWAS, where I honed my people management, organizational and communication skills at a multi dimensional level. My experience as a graphic designer has equipped me with the ability to create compelling visual content, from branding and marketing materials, presentation and publications, digital illustrations and video editing. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improvement , as evidenced by my certifications in design, project management and digital education majorly for the purpose of achieving more excellence in service delivery and results.
