Head of Communication and Graphic Design
KUFA Lyss
10.2024 – 04.2026
Who I am
I’m Kaya Sarah Djakou.
Creativity has always been part of how I see the world. Early on, I realised I didn’t just want to consume ideas, images and stories. I wanted to create them myself.
My journey started with curiosity. As a child, I filmed my first videos, explored photography, painted, crafted and experimented with different materials. Over time, I realised that what interests me most is not one single medium, but the connection between them.
Today, graphic design, photography and video meet social media, marketing and campaign planning in my work. I like to understand the bigger picture, connect ideas and turn them into communication that works across different channels.
My path has always been shaped by curiosity, initiative and the willingness to find my own way forward. I learn by doing, questioning, experimenting and taking opportunities when they appear. What matters to me is seeing potential and turning it into something meaningful and distinctly my own.
Opportunities, transformed.
This portfolio is a glimpse into how I think, create and work.
