W+K London is working on an exciting project based in Rwanda, and we're keen to collaborate with East African creative talent here in London.

We're specifically looking for illustrators, photographers, graphic designers and writers to work with us on a freelance basis.  If you're East African and you're interested in getting involved with this project please contact Lucy or Sophie.
