My Role and Collaboration

As the Visual Designer, I collaborated with a diverse group of stakeholders from 2012 to 2018. Utilizing tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and sketching, I contributed to various projects and initiatives.

Road To Paris

The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP 21 or CMP 11, was held in Paris, France, from November 30 to December 12, 2015. This event marked the 21st annual session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 11th session of the Meeting of the Parties (CMP) to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.

Prior to the main event, several preliminary conferences took place worldwide. I was asked to design an illustrated theme poster for the African National Dialogue, which was held at the UN Economic Commission for Africa headquarters in Addis Ababa.

Inspiration

FIAT PANIS - FAO

In 2015, a national TV broadcaster hosted representatives from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations for an exclusive interview. The show aimed to raise awareness and promote the agency's efforts to tackle food security in Ethiopia and across Africa.

I was tasked with designing the video wall background for the show. For the design, I drew inspiration from FAO’s motto, "Fiat Panis," which translates to "let there be bread."

Brand and Printables

A Seattle-based adult family LLC, dedicated to providing quality living conditions for senior citizens for over a decade, approached me seeking a visual identity and printable items. I designed their logo, business cards, and t-shirts, integrating the company's mission into their digital footprint.
