Panda

Overview

Panda is an internal asset generation tool built to help non-designers create on-brand materials quickly and without needing to involve the Studio team every time. It came out of a very real problem: we were getting a lot of repeat design requests, which slowed things down and pulled designers away from more meaningful work.

The first focus was event poster and certificate generation. The goal was simple — make it easy for people to create what they needed, while still keeping things consistent with Paystack’s brand. Turning this into a self-serve tool helped reduce bottlenecks and improved turnaround time across the company.

I led the project and worked closely with a team of five interns (Future Stacks), setting direction and scope while creating space for the team to learn and figure things out as we went. Beyond the efficiency gains, Panda also became a useful onboarding project, giving new team members hands-on exposure to Paystack’s tools, systems, and brand standards through real work.
