Joan Wanjiku

UX and visual designer with experience in crafting user-centered websites, digital media, and interactive experiences. Skilled in wireframing, prototyping, and creating content-first designs in Figma, with a strong foundation in communication, storytelling, and digital strategy. Experienced in website rebuilds, content planning, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to align user needs with business goals.

I have gained experience as a UI/UX and digital media designer through internships and freelance projects. At Connected888, I focus on website redesigns by creating high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, improving accessibility, and collaborating with developers and cross-functional teams to refine designs based on usability testing. During my time at OnFleek TV, I designed digital posters and social media content, wrote SEO-optimized blog stories using Google Analytics, and edited multimedia content for online platforms.

In addition, I work as a freelance UI/graphic designer where I design websites, mobile app interfaces, branding materials, and interactive prototypes for different clients, applying mobile-first design principles and UX strategies to deliver user-centered solutions.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communications, specializing in Broadcast and Digital Media, from the Presbyterian University of East Africa. My studies equipped me with a strong foundation in media production, digital storytelling, and communication strategies, which I now integrate into my design and content creation work.
