Zenzile is an award-winning, multi-disciplinary visual futurist dedicated to design as a tool for radical change. With a Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and an n MFA “Designer as Author & Entrepreneur” from School of Visual Arts, she dismantles conventions and reconstructs new possibilities through bold colors, subversive forms, and moving storytelling.
Over a decade of experience in in-house and agency settings has sharpened her ability to navigate industries—from AI and K-12 education to beauty and healthcare—always with a lens of transformation. Grounded in decolonization, activism, and speculative design, her work doesn’t just challenge the status quo; it rewires it.
Zenzile’s creative philosophy has been shaped by design luminaries such as Stefan Sagmeister, the late Milton Glaser, Allan Chochinov & Kevin Brainard. Beyond the screen, she immerses herself in sonic textures, vibrating floods of color and the rhythms of everyday life, seeing the world as a continuous canvas for innovation and liberation.
Zenzile is an advocator for marginalized groups and utilizes design as a communication device for diversity equity and inclusion. She is proud to represent her multicultural roots in her craft.
In her downtime she loves experimenting with natural hairstyles, learning new up-do techniques, learning to cook food from other countries, thrifting odd flower vases, discovering rare nature trails, gardening in her small brooklyn window sil, partaking in bold fashion looks and collecting interesting nic nacks along her way.
Did you know she was an actress in a Heladro Negro music video?
And also a mystic conjecturer of Fernet?
