"In secondary school, I realised I had a talent for graphic design when I was given lines by my teachers. I would create ornate patterns from the words 'I must not forget my sports kit'’ which would go across 2 or more pages. My sports teacher liked them so much he mounted them on his wall. As a result, I kept forgetting my sports kit..." Jonathan Akwue, Board member and Director of Digital Public.
