Chisom Uchendu is a visual communication designer, academic, and lecturer in the Department of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), where she has taught courses in Art History and Visual Communication Design since 2018.

Her studio practice and academic research explore the intersection of graphic design, parody advertising, political satire, and public accountability in post-colonial Nigeria. She is an active member of the African Humanities Research and Development Circle (AHRDC) and frequently publishes scholarship on cultural discourse, visual ethics, and societal reform.

As a freelance graphic designer, her portfolio covers brand identity systems, packaging architecture, digital fabric pattern design, and photography. Her creative ambition includes establishing a fashion brand contributing to the Nigerian textile industry through indigenous pattern modernizations.
