Welcome to Wambui JL
Graphic Designer | Brainstorm Guru | Brand Strategist | Creativepreneur
I am an African female content creator who uses graphic design & writing to connect with like-minded people to catch a vybe & collaborate on awesome projects. I’ve been designing since before 2000 and blogging since 2005. While that seems like quite some experience, it almost means nothing in this digital age. I have learned to keep growing in my knowledge of content creation, by always pushing myself in my craft; and I hope to share that know-how, in writing and imagery, here with you.
The year 2020 has been quite the eye-opener. I had started to lose myself there for a while, but I took a beat and decide to rediscover myself. As part of exploring my destiny, I gifted myself an X-Men’s Storm inspired avatar. It's designed to remind me of my life-long love for graphic art, comics, the color purple, and punk rock. It also embodies my desire to take the African continent by storm using my graphic design, brand strategy, motivational speaking talents & skills. The avatar fantasy artwork is designed by uber-talented Kenyan Female Illustrator Nyambura Kariuki. To get your own email at ohmydraws@gmail.com.
