Designing for Impact: South African National GBV Study
Being the graphic designer for The First South African National Gender-Based Violence Study (2022) was both an honor and a deeply meaningful experience. When the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) entrusted me with this project, I knew it was more than just a design task—it was an opportunity to contribute to a crucial national conversation. Gender-based violence (GBV) is a critical issue, and playing a role in visually presenting data that could influence policies and interventions was something I took very seriously.

To bring the study to life, I focused on creating a visually engaging and accessible design that would ensure the information was not only informative but also impactful. I designed infographics, data visualizations, and layouts that made the study’s findings easy to understand, ensuring that policymakers, activists, and the general public could grasp the severity of the issue at a glance. Every design choice—from the color schemes to typography—was carefully crafted to align with the sensitivity and urgency of the subject matter.
Seeing the final publication was a proud moment for me. Knowing that my design helped communicate critical insights on gender-based violence in South Africa made all the effort worthwhile. It reinforced my belief that design is a tool for advocacy and change, and I am grateful to have been part of a project that has the potential to influence policies and protect lives.
