After graduating from the University of Vienna in the field of development studies, Efua started out as a project consultant and later worked as a social worker for an Asylum Center.
Following her tenure as Deputy Head of an employment project at a different social organization focused on refugee services, she continues her career as a social worker and advisor at a new firm. In 2025, she also earned her degree as a psychosocial counselor.
Parallel to her academic career, she also has a degree in fashion and her own label called DesignsbyEfua.
Most recently her work in this area has grown from an aesthetic playground into a performative and conscious resistance.
Efua now puts emphasis on, and embodies, wearable activism. With the belief that art has an influence on the way we think, feel, love and move, she is always working on a creative approach and has collaborated on many community, art and cultural projects.
Efua, a traditional Ghanaian name with the meaning „born on friday“, is also a member of the Schwarze Frauen Community, who help empower black women, children and youth in Austria.
