Through my work organizing conference lectures for a professor of Africa and African-American Politics, I connected with the Africa-America Institute and offered to assist in publicizing their transformative work. The first project I connected with AAI on was their 7th annual State of Education on Africa (SOE) Conference. In the past, the SOE conference was held in person, so I worked with them to build a digital promotional package and virtual conference design.

​

Over the years, our partnership grew as I became their sole creative consultant designing all of their visual media, digital platforms, and events. For events, I've designed their virtual State of Education conferences, diplomatic forums, convention showcases, partner dinners, and their last three annual fundraising Awards Gala attended by presidents, celebrities, scholars, and other high-profile guests. 

​

In 2023, I proposed redesigning their visual brand identity and consulted with their team to reposition their branding with a new logo, color palette, typography, and updated copy. I streamlined the incorporation of their new look by creating a new digital newsletter, modernizing their social media and subscriber email platforms, and building a new website from the ground up.  

​

Our partnership has grown over the years and AAI trusts me to listen, understand, and manifest their vision in any form. With 70+ years of non-profit work, AAI is a remarkable and influential institution that I am honored to represent.
