Starting at Ghana Football Association

Walking into the GFA offices was initially underwhelming. It took professor Chris Chavez and me about 15 minutes to find the office, after asking three people we found the office, a room the size of my dining room with 5 people working in it. I was asked what I studied, and I told them advertising and they then asked me what I was good at, I told them my focus was strategy but I knew basic skills in photography, design, and social media. My boss’s eyes lit up when I said design. I was quickly asked to do everything from design invoice documents to soccer league photos to political posters. I am lukewarm on my role with the GFA, I want to focus on strategy and hone those skills, but my skills with the adobe creative suite are growing exponentially.
