About
Who
I’m Ebenezer Agyeman. I’ve been telling stories and drawing pictures all my life – and getting paid for it since 2013, somehow. Design is my tool of choice, because I believe change should be beautiful.
Why
I’m in it for craft and connection. I enjoy creating symbols, and I enjoy communicating worthy ideas. The goal is simple: good work that is free of fuss.
Preferences
- Social impact
- Clean Tech
- Education
- Nonprofit
How
I start with a genuinely blank page, and a lot of questions. Leaning heavily on public domain assets and vector drawing, I find my way to a functional, friendly composition.
Narrative over embellishment; harmony before complexity. This workmanlike approach regularly unearths novel ideas.
Highlights
- Pitched ‘Drop That Yam’.
- Ghostwrote editorials, speeches, and petitions for six chief executives; one went on the President’s desk.
- Sorted 18,000 images while rebuilding IEA Ghana’s website.
- Became the adinkra guy. (When Simon Charwey’s busy.)
- Averaged two logo concepts each month for a decade. (Used Arial once, and it kind of worked.)
- Acquired mild Behance clout, so that people email me to offer design awards at affordable prices.
