Meet our Guest:

Hi,

My name is Mfonobong Umondia. I am a Product Design Mentor at Designlab, a Digital Creator, and a Community Manager at Friends of Figma Africa.
I oversee the Friends of Figma Design Communities for the Africa Region at Figma, where I coordinate the French- and English-speaking Communities to operate more effectively by offering learning resources, collaboration opportunities, learning boot camps, and other supportive design-focused programs to support the development of the next generation of designers. As a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador, I create a network of women in Uyo who are already working in technology or wish to. Through mindful women-inclusive events, my co-leads and I provide a safe environment for women in technology while simultaneously promoting more diversity. WTM's main goal is to increase public awareness of creative female leaders in the field of technology.
