How did I get here?

I was a young child with a strong passion for art. Like most kids, I loved watching cartoons and spent hours drawing. At the same time, I was exposed to technology early, owning a few gadgets even during my primary school years. By around 13, I was comfortable creating digital artwork in MS Paint.

As I grew older, my interests evolved, and I realized that I had a deep fascination with both art and technology. However, due to the dynamics of the Nigerian educational system, I pursued a scientific path. Despite the obstacles, I found my way around it.

It wasn’t until my first year at university as a computer science student that I stumbled upon the world of design. In 2011, with the guidance of my roommate, I began exploring Photoshop. From that moment on, my journey of self-discovery in the creative realm began. I looked into various creative tools, honed my skills, explored different fields, and learned about design strategies and processes.

Today, I am a freelance multidisciplinary designer providing services across identity, graphics, web, UI/UX, illustration, and occasionally print. It has been an incredible five-year journey in the industry, constantly pushing boundaries and expanding my horizons.
