Ayaan Warsame

I am a brand and product designer based in Hargeisa, and I have worked in design since 2019. I started as a freelance logo designer for small shops and cafés, and today I lead design at Horn Pixel Studio, where I work on brand identities, mobile apps and printed materials for businesses and NGOs across Somaliland and the wider region. My strongest skills are brand identity, logo design and UI design, and I work every day in Figma, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. I studied Graphic Design at the Hargeisa School of Design and completed a UX Design certificate in 2023. I like work where design has to be practical: signs you can read from the street, apps that stay fast on older phones, and reports people actually finish reading. I am open to full-time roles and freelance projects, and I am happy to work in Somali, English or Arabic.
