I am a Zimbabwean artist, designer, art director, and typographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. I am also the co-founder of Mam’Gobozi Design Factory, a South African design studio dedicated to celebrating African identity through design, art, and product creation.

My work challenges conventional approaches, serving as both a call to decolonize Eurocentrism in graphic design and media and an ode to the beauty of celebrating African culture, heritage, and belonging.
