Bio
I started my career as a graphic designer in 2014. In 2021, I joined CCI Global as an associate creative director to manage the brand vision and tonality’s objectives and push creatives that drive engagement of Africa’s largest BPO brand. I am privileged to have worked with established names in varied industries, from hospitality and F&B to entertainment and telecommunications. I’ve always had an affinity for any creative tool that allowed free reign. Graphic designing came naturally to me as a designer before I started discovering what I enjoy the most: creating stories and how to tell them creatively.
Guiding principles
In a world where people only care about results, I always try to remind myself to never forget who I am, and who I want to be. To become a better person and a better artist. Getting to your destination is just as important as how you get there.
Side hustle
I turn to any medium that enables me to learn more and create a better version of myself. I immerse myself into the world of NFTs, an e-commerce site, and completing my book. I am on a well-defined path enjoying what I do and being good at it.
