Description

Fungi Dube is a creative solopreneur and ardent Pan-Africanist Brand, Visual, and Webflow Web Designer who is passionate about elevating African narratives through modern design and cultivating Afro-positive sentiments. Her work is heavily influenced by the profound nuances that are embedded in African cultures, likes the use of patterns, textures, historical writings, graphic symbols, and color as a form of visual and global communication. She is also a speaker and mentor; also currently works with Flux Academy as a Brand Design Coach. We speak with Fungi about her positioning and how she uses culture to impact her design and share powerful stories!Guest Information:Guest Name: Fungi DubeBusiness Name: Fungi Dube GraphicsWebsite: www.fungidube.com/Instagram: @fungidubegraphicsTwitter: @fungi_dubeLinkedIn: in/fungidubeBehance: @fungidubeInbox Question:"I'd love to learn what brand designers think about verbal identity and how they work with copywriters!” — Andrea ShahSpecial thanks to our producer Jon from Wayfare Recording Co.Connect With Us:Our Free Facebook CommunityOur WebsiteOur Resources PagePodcast InstagramSupport us on PatreonOur podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting:www.betterbranddesigner.com/disclaimer

Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was founded on the belief that designers need community. We find that the branding world often feels secretive, competitive, and sometimes just plain old confusing. When we realized that our honest, soul-chat-level convos between designer friends could potentially help other designers, we realized a podcast was only natural!Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was created by Giselle Field of Wander Design Co. and Jen Davis from Hello June Creative, who met in a designer's Facebook group in 2019 and became quick design biz buddies. Grievously, Giselle passed away during a climbing trip in Peru in summer of 2020. We encourage all listeners of our podcast to listen to our two Celebrating Giselle episodes. Giselle's adventurous, kind, funny, and supportive presence is missed every day - each and every episode that we record is dedicated to her legacy and her vision for this podcast.In winter of 2022, we welcomed Esther Knox-Dekoning from Sereth Design as a new co-host. It is our honor to continue recording episodes in Giselle's memory and we know that she is with us every time we sit down to record.
