About — 01

A designer from Accra, with a newsroom habit.

I’m Papa Kwesi Buadoo — a graphic designer, content creator and the person behind PKBCreates. I studied Graphic Design (Multimedia) at the University of Education, Winneba, and I’ve spent the years since designing for newspapers, live television, print presses and independent brands.

By day I design pages, ads and social graphics at New Times Corporation. After hours I build identities, packaging and campaign visuals — and record lessons for designers coming up behind me.

Good design is a clear idea, executed with care. I like briefs that have a real problem inside them, and clients who care enough to make the work better.
