About Us

</aside>

Tech Safari is launching a new editorial project focused on Africa’s agriculture and food systems—through the lens of technology, innovation, and investment. We’re bringing the same sharp, design-forward storytelling that powers Tech Safari into a space that desperately needs clarity and creativity.

We're looking for a Brand Designer to build the look and feel of this new project from the ground up. You'll help us create a bold, modern visual identity that makes this work impossible to ignore.

About The Role

</aside>

We’re building a brand that makes people stop scrolling.

As our Brand Designer, you’ll bring the project to life—developing everything from our logo to our social templates. You’ll work closely with our editorial and growth teams to build a visual language that’s as clear, cool, and compelling as the stories we tell.

In this role, you will:

• Create the brand identity: logo, color palette, typography, and brand guidelines that stand the test of time.
• Design our landing page: Work with our team to create a one-page website that communicates what we’re about in one scroll.
• Develop newsletter templates: Design responsive, readable, and branded email templates (we use Figma and Beehiiv).
• Bring our content to life visually:
  • Infographics, visual explainers, and founder quote cards
  • Social media templates and branded carousels for LinkedIn
• Build a social design system: Develop a flexible style guide for editorial and promotional content across platforms.
• Collaborate across the board: Work with writers and editors to transform complex ideas into crisp, impactful visuals.
