About

As a visual communication designer and educator, I use dialogue as a tool to foster meaningful conversations. My practice investigates how community, identity, and culture are shaped through multidisciplinary approaches, ranging from artist books to public space activations. I am dedicated to developing new ways of creating connection by examining how people relate to one another, to the spaces they inhabit, and to the communicative strategies that enable those relationships. My current research focuses on language documentation and the architectural legacies of former colonial states. I also contribute as a team member at Tampered Press, a publication committed to amplifying the voices of writers and visual artists in Ghana, across Africa, and throughout the diaspora.
