Rufina Okpe
@rufinaokpe
Brand and graphic designer with frontend and digital marketing skills, building story-driven identities and digital experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a passionate Brand and Graphic designer with a foundation in frontend development and digital marketing. I create visual identities, brand systems, and digital experiences that help businesses tell their story visually and show up with intention.
Right now, I run my own design studio, Designed by Ru, where I design and develop full brand identities for small businesses and creatives. I handle logo design, typography systems, colour palettes, and brand guidelines, then translate business goals into compelling visual language across print and digital touchpoints. I manage client relationships from brief to delivery to launch-ready outcomes.
I’ve also strengthened my craft through marketing and web experience. As a Marketing Associate & Graphic Designer at Sokari London, I designed campaign visuals for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok and supported content strategies for audience growth, collaborating directly with artists. Earlier, as a Web Developer Intern at Peter Albertson Limited, I built responsive website frontends and reusable UI components with a focus on usability and user experience.
