Annual report design and illustration
The theme of this annual report is Resilience. One more year of confined living and uncertainty due to the pandemic has passed. The inspiration for the overall look and illustrations that run through the report, is the Kenyan fabrics that one encounters all over the country, worn by people in their every day life. The boldness of these fabrics’ colours and patterns in combination with photography (Freepik) also inspired by the theme of Resilience, creates a vivid result that is meant to be inspiring and uplifting.

Data Handbook for UNDP SIDS.
This Data handbook assembles data and statistics to facilitate policymakers for the Small Island Developing States. Since data visualisation is another form of storytelling using data, the cover visual on the left, is made of details from different kinds of graphs, in such a way as to evoke a landscape, a place. On the cover visual on the right, again the use of circles from a bubble chart, evokes graphs and data on one hand but also floating islands in the sea, pointing again to the definition of data visualisation as another form of storytelling.
Annual report 2020 for United Nations Local Expatriate Spouse Association. Graphic design, illustration.
The year 2020 was not an easy one for UNKLESA as activities were limited to online interaction only due to Covid19 restrictions. The illustrations that run throughout the report are inspired by different Nairobi window grills, behind which we lived for almost the whole year. Although the year 2020 was a dark moment in history the colourful illustrations point to an optimistic future.

Annual report 2021 for United Nations Local Expatriate Spouse Association. Graphic design, illustration.
This year’s annual report design is inspired by one word: Resilience. Despite the fact that the pandemic continued to affect our lives and the work of UNKLESA, the volunteers of the organisation kept assisting UN
spouses and organising events and activities to enrich their everyday life and contribute to their personal and professional development. The illustrations that run through the report are photos of Kenyan fabrics, a visual testament to an optimistic and resilient culture, combined with photos of human resilience (photos from Freepik).

Design proposal for the University of the Arts London merchandise (tote bag) and library card.
Art college is a place that will open up one’s mind, broaden their perception of the world and help them learn how to think ‘outside of the box’. This is visually interpreted as the eye that grows bigger and the eye that ‘travels’. The visual tone of the design is purposefully colourful, light and surreal as a reminder that learning about creativity should be a time marked by fun and possibility.
