Kurandza

Elisabetta Colabianchi, the founder of Kurandza, posted on the Bucketlist Bombshell’s Facebook Group that she needed a virtual assistant in 2017 – flash forward a few years later and I’m now the graphic designer for an amazing non-profit. Kurandza is a small grassroots non-profit that’s passionate about empowering women and girls to become leaders in Mozambique. They do this through working closely with the members of the communities and their two programs that focus on giveback partnership and the #IStandForGirls sponsorship program that brings education to 200+ girls.

As a Creative Director, I work on the U.S. side with Elisabetta on branding, website updates, social media, email marketing, videos, and more! I work with a smile every day because these girls honestly bring me joy in the workplace! Working for Kurandza means a great deal to me because I am creating messages and visuals for campaigns and for others to see, and every time we have a new sponsor, donor, or giveback partner – it really feels like I’m making a difference in these girls lives!

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alex for the past 4 years, and over this time, I have seen Alex’s professionalism, capability, and work ethic first hand. Running a non-profit organization, you hope that the people you work with will take the same care and effort as you do, and I can say that Alex does this. She pours her heart into everything she does, going above and beyond, and not doing just the bare minimum. She has a remarkable attention-to-detail and I appreciate and admire her integrity greatly. 

One of the qualities I really value about her is her positive attitude and enthusiasm– it makes working with her on a regular basis so easy and enjoyable! She communicates clearly and consistently about the projects she’s working on and everything always gets done in a timely manner. Alex is very organized and she has an ability to anticipate needs– if she doesn't know how to do something, she will be proactive and find a solution, which is something I so appreciate!

Alex has created our brand identity, successfully creating social media graphics and stories, videos, printed materials including stickers, postcards, brochures, booklets, and holiday cards, as well as redesigning our logo and website. She’s able to take on any project we send her way, and her knowledge about graphic design and creativity is unmatched. I love Kurandza’s brand, and I’m so grateful to Alex for bringing my vision to life! It’s easy to trust her with Kurandza’s brand and design, and it’s a relief to have someone like Alex in charge of these aspects to Kurandza – I know that it’s in good hands. She is amazing and I’m so blessed to get to work with her and call her a friend!”
