She is the founder of Digital Girl Africa, a community incubator advancing AI literacy and digital confidence for women across the continent. Working across multimedia and design, Ian creates work that makes the invisible architectures of AI tangible. Her practice blends critical inquiry with creative expression, using film, visual storytelling, and spatial thinking to surface the material, political, and emotional contours of emerging technologies. She has consulted for UNICEF South Africa, the World Bank, Commonwealth Foundation, and CIVICUS, and her contributions to Africa’s digital futures have been recognised by the Mail & Guardian, the Web Foundation, and the Design Futures Lab.
