About
I'm Mathew Yel (also known as Yelose) — a creative entrepreneur, technologist, and community builder passionate about shaping the future of design and digital innovation in South Sudan.
My journey into tech began in 2020, when I started exploring how creativity and technology intersect. From experimenting with basic computing and Adobe Illustrator to diving into cybersecurity, programming, and web development, I've carved a path that blends artistry with practical digital solutions.
I'm the founder of Yelose Graphics, a design agency specializing in branding and visual identity, and VikraHub, a growing platform connecting and empowering South Sudanese creatives. I've also contributed to projects like South Gleam Forex & Money Transfer, Dineasy Food Delivery, and Etix South Sudan.
At heart, I'm both a builder and a dreamer: deeply rooted in my South Sudanese identity, yet reaching for impact on a global scale.
