About me
What makes a design worth stopping for?
For me, it’s not just looking good — it’s making people feel something. A book cover that makes a child pick it up. A brand that feels so consistent you trust it before you know why.
I’m Jesse Young Natembeya, a Graphic Designer and Visual Storyteller based in Nairobi, Kenya, and the founder of Jesse Young Studios. I create brand graphics, social media content, book covers, editorial layouts, illustrations, and digital campaigns for commercial brands and independent creators.
My flagship project, Hot Nairobi Baddies — Boss Babe Edition, was independently published from concept to print — written, designed, and produced by me. I’ve also created brand visuals for Ecobana, and Baridi Brew.
I work fast, I care about details, and I design with intention. Currently open to freelance, contract, and full-time creative roles.
