Why Work With Me?

Unlike most branding studios, I combine strategy with specialist expertise in typography and African visual culture.

My work has been recognised internationally through collaborations, exhibitions, talks and awards, helping organisations communicate across languages and cultures with authenticity.

I believe design should preserve knowledge, not just decorate it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only design logos?

I design complete identity systems rooted in strategy. A logo is only one component of a successful brand.

Yes.

This is one of my specialist areas. I design typefaces and writing systems that support Afrikan languages and multilingual communication.


Do you work internationally?

Absolutely.

I’m based in Sweden and work with clients across Africa, Europe and North America.


Do you offer workshops?

Yes.

I regularly deliver lectures, workshops and masterclasses on typography, Afrikan visual culture, branding and design research.
