About
From a warehouse floor to leading Africa’s biggest Canva community.
I’m Benjamin Teschemaker Minnow — Canva calls me Community Lead for Africa, the internet calls me African Geek. I’m based in Adenta, Accra, and I’ve spent the last few years teaching Canva to anyone who’ll watch, building tools that save designers hours, and championing African creativity.
I started in a warehouse in 2017. Got bored. Found motion graphics. Then Canva. Then I just kept sharing what I was learning — for free, every week, no plan. The community grew. The work followed.
If you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or small business owner trying to make beautiful, on-brand designs without the headache, you’re in the right place.
