About Brian
I’m a multidisciplinary designer moved by the pulse of culture, community, and change. My practice lives at the intersection of visual storytelling and socio-cultural sustainability, shaped through collaborative ideation and deep research. From branding and illustration to UX/UI, publication, art direction, animation, and digital painting, I work fluidly across mediums, always guided by intention, narrative, and impact.I’ve had the chance to co-create with global institutions like the United Nations, World Health Organisation and other international bodies, designing for projects that speak to the heart of pressing global challenges: climate resilience, public health, education, gender equity, and economic empowerment.
Design, for me, is more than craft, it’s a tool for dialogue, disruption, and transformation.

Experience
- OECDCareer pathwayHUMAN RESOURCESMay 2025 - July 2025 (2 months)Paris, FranceI worked on creating a Webtool which is a contemporary HR solution designed to guide employees through internal growth opportunities aligned with the organisation's structure. Through an intuitive web tree map, what was once a complex HR challenge is transformed into a clear, user-friendly navigation experience. Each career level is accompanied by a descriptive explanation and a defined pathway to achievement, with full bilingual support in both English and French; empowering employees to make informed decisions about their career progression.
- World Health OrganizationSocial media illustrationsHEALTH AND WELLNESSJanuary 2022 - April 2026 (4 years and 3 months)Geneva, SwitzerlandI worked on multiple social media illustrated posts, whereby they demonstrate the process of translating complex data and research from leading global authorities in public health and climate science into accessible, visually engaging designs. Each tile combines a carefully crafted illustrative scene that reinforces the core message with supporting statistics that ground the narrative in scientific evidence. The use of bold, vibrant visual language ensures the content captures attention and maintains clarity within the fast-paced, information-saturated environment of social media platforms.
- World Health OrganizationAMRRESEARCHSeptember 2024 - October 2024 (1 month)Geneva, SwitzerlandThis project focused on designing a layout report that estimates the impact of vaccines in reducing antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic use. The visual design employs custom colour gradients to represent the 44 pathogens featured in the report’s scorecards, which show how each pathogen responded to various vaccines. Each vaccine adds a distinct colour variation to the pathogens’ gradients, creating a visually engaging "colour smoothie" that transforms a highly technical scientific document into an informative piece of visual art. The scorecard design was then adapted into an interactive dashboard, allowing users to filter results by vaccine and view specific impacts on individual pathogens.
