I was selected to form part of the 2017 Barclays Accelerator Cohort and filled the role of Design Associate, advising and implementing any design related assets the 10 startups needed in the build up to their pitch day. My main tasks during the program were online campaign creatives, website designs, UI and UX, sales deck presentations and landing page designs. This was when my journey into FinTech began and I really enjoyed the direction and industry.

Being part of this 13-week fintech accelerator gives you an unfair advantage to make huge inroads into 13 countries in the Barclays Africa group and quickly increase your footprint.
