Leading the Creative Charge: 8 African women pushing the limits in Design
SPOTLIGHT
As the world becomes increasingly digital, the demand for skilled designers in the tech industry continues to grow. However, the representation of women, especially African women, in the design industry still needs to be improved. Despite these challenges, a rising number of talented and determined African women are making their mark in the industry, using their creativity and leadership skills to bring fresh perspectives and innovation to the field.

From Nigeria to Egypt to Kenya, these designers are pushing the boundaries of what is possible and developing innovative solutions to some of the
world's most pressing problems. Their designs
create powerful visual narratives, build businesses and elevate the voices of underrepresented communities.
In this issue, we celebrate the work of African women who are gifted designers, inspiring leaders, and using their platforms to mentor and empower the next generation of women in digital design. Through advocacy for greater diversity and inclusion in
the industry, they challenge the status quo and demonstrate that women can and should be at
the forefront of digital innovation.
Join us as we learn about the journeys and work of these remarkable women and are inspired by their creativity, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to excellence. These African women are shaping the future in ways that benefit us all - through their designs, leadership and advocacy.
