Other Fun Stuff :)

When I'm not working on client projects or at the gym, I’m either learning more 3D design, immersing myself in experimental work, making art, or taking random pictures and videos.

*Some of the 3D works being displayed here are from my personal practices from a course I bought on Udemy, or learning from Youtube.

Chapter I: Background

Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, I grew up with a deep passion for arts and culture. This culture; valuing respect, honesty, and teamwork, helped shape me into a team player who is open and understands the life of everyday people. Enabling me to approach design with a unique perspective, blending empathy and creativity.

My design journey started from doodling in my notebooks in Primary school, which transformed into what has now become my passion to create inclusive, human-centered products. I’ve had the opportunity to work with forward-thinking teams at Defijn, YUX Design Agency tackling projects that push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

Beyond design, I’m an explorer at heart. My design philosophy reflects this adventurous spirit always pushing the boundaries, always learning, and growing. My design ethos? Bold, cultural, prestigious, clean, and crafted with intention.

Chapter II: Focus

Crafting experiences that work for everyone—whether it’s a seamless UI or a solution that connects deeply with users. I thrive on empathy, always listening to users, and finding ways to make technology accessible and impactful.

Areas I'm currently exploring are; Product Design, Interaction Design, Art Direction, 3D Design, Website Design, Webflow Development, Motion Design, and AR/VR Design. *This goes without saying that I'm open to new and exciting areas not listed above. If you have something interesting in mind, feel free to reach out.

Chapter III: Approach

My approach is rooted in a set
of guiding principles that ensure the best outcome for every project: collaboration, ownership, honesty, and consistency. I like bringing my creative mind to design projects, allowing me to generate unique ideas and stay open-minded (the feeling you get looking at a blank canvas).

To remain relevant and up to any task that might come my way, I make sure to get new inputs everyday through continuous life exploration, learning, and asking questions.

Chapter V: Fun facts

I find inspiration in music, nature, fashion, advertising, and some random stuff. I love going to the gym, watching anime, basketball, architecture, sci-fi movies, cooking, getting lost in nature, and having fun on a Friday night.

Oh, yeah, I'm also 6’2” and left-handed (well, they say we are ‘ambidextrous’).
