#FungiDube #africandesign #storyuntoldzw
Fungi Dube is a strategic, intentional and calculated Brand and Visual Identity Graphic Designer based in Harare, Zimbabwe. She is a delicate balance of process and creativity; years of applied experimentation and research have nurtured the ability for her to think divergently and process creative solutions in a fluid and dynamic way.

Her work is heavily influenced by the delicate yet profound nuances that are embedded into African cultures like natural elements/features, patterns and colour as a form of visual communication which propel her passion for elevating the African narrative through modern identity systems.

In the 12th episode of Story Untold ZW we sat with Fungi and discussed:
* Fungi's journey into design;
* How she approaches her work as a designer;
* The importance of decolonising of design education;
* Design as a storytelling tool
* and more...
