About
01

I'm a Creative Technologist operating at the rare intersection of art, technology, and storytelling — not as a generalist, but as someone who has mastered multiple disciplines at senior level simultaneously.

Nigerian-born. England-based. Globally minded. My career has been the answer to a single frustration: brilliant technical systems built without soul, and visually stunning creative work built without infrastructure.

I realised early that the future belongs to people who can bridge both worlds — those who understand aesthetics and engineering, emotion and systems, narrative and execution.

What I do

06 Disciplines
01

Film &
Cinematography

Full-pipeline filmmaking — from concept and storyboarding through on-set direction, cinematography, and post-production finishing. Sony systems. DaVinci Resolve. Every frame intentional.

02

AI / ML
Specialist

Applied AI at the creative edge — not as a shortcut, but as a medium. Generative systems, architectural visualisations, and Teti: a proprietary podcast experience engine built on adaptive AI.

03

Brand
Strategy

Brand as a systems problem. Philosophy first, visual language second. Across 8 industries — real estate, automotive, healthcare, education — I build brands that behave coherently at every touchpoint.

04

Product
Design

Senior-level design across web and mobile. Designing not just screens, but the logic, flow, and emotional experience that connects them. Systems thinking with a designer's sensibility.

05

Development
Systems

I build what I design. Web development, system programming, mobile applications — operating on both sides of the design-development boundary. Creative decisions technically grounded.

06

Audio Visual
Direction

End-to-end AV production and direction at ODIO Digital Inc. Every element of a production — visible or invisible — should be as intentional as what the audience ultimately experiences.

Precision Timber
Timber
Playground Development  ·  England
Campaign / Social Content

Precision Timber is a specialist playground development company based in England, crafting bespoke outdoor play environments that blend natural timber craftsmanship with considered spatial design.

As Digital Marketing Lead, the mandate is to build a compelling digital presence that communicates Precision Timber's craft, values, and work to clients, specifiers, and communities across England — while Gabbibada Ltd is being built in parallel.

The work is a live exercise in a core discipline: taking a company with genuine craft heritage and giving it the digital vocabulary it deserves — so the quality of the work online matches the quality of the timber in the ground.

Scope of Work
  • Digital Marketing Strategy

LandWey
Head of Creative Real Estate Lagos, Nigeria Brand & Campaign
LandWey
LandWey
Premium Real Estate  ·  Lagos, Nigeria
Image / Campaign Visual

LandWey is one of Nigeria's most ambitious premium real estate development companies — an organisation building not just properties, but a new language for how Africans relate to home ownership and property investment.

As Head of Creative, the mandate was total: own the visual and strategic identity of the brand across every surface — digital, print, campaign, and environment. I redefined what LandWey looked and felt like to the world, and built the creative infrastructure to sustain that standard at scale.

The work centred on a core conviction: that a premium real estate brand in Lagos should look and feel genuinely premium — not like a local approximation of a global standard, but something with its own authority, aesthetic, and voice.

Scope of Work
  • Campaign Strategy & Direction
  • Digital Brand Identity
  • Social Media Creative Direction
  • Marketing Collateral Design
  • Video Production & Direction
  • Website Creative Direction
  • Photography Art Direction
  • Brand Standards & Guidelines

Nigeria's First Exclusive Polo & Wellness Estate  ·  2M sqm · Epe, Lagos
Image / Campaign Visual

Isimi Lagos is one of Africa's most ambitious luxury lifestyle projects — Nigeria's first exclusive polo and wellness country estate, spanning over 2 million square metres in Epe, Lagos, and powered by LandWey.

As Creative Head, my role was to define the visual and experiential language of a brand that had no precedent in Nigeria. Isimi is not a real estate product — it is a way of life. Membership by invitation only. 500,000 trees planted. Polo, wellness, architecture, and quiet luxury woven into a single living system.

The creative challenge was translating that vision into a brand that felt as elevated as the estate itself — compelling to a global audience while remaining deeply, authentically Nigerian in its soul and intention.

Scope of Work
  • Creative Direction & Brand Vision
  • Campaign Strategy & Execution
  • Social Media Direction (89K+ Followers)
  • Luxury Brand Positioning
  • Photography & Video Art Direction
  • Digital Presence & Content Strategy
  • Event & Experience Communication

The Nod
Senior Product Designer Odiotech Social Commerce iOS & Android Canada
The Nod App
Nod
Canada's First Black-Owned Social Commerce Platform  ·  User & Admin
App Screens / UI

The Nod App is Canada's first social e-commerce platform built to intentionally recirculate $100M through 500+ Canadian Black-owned businesses — a movement disguised as an app, designed to transform everyday purchases into systemic community wealth.

As Senior Product Designer at Odiotech, I designed both the User App and the Admin platform — two distinct products serving two entirely different audiences, but sharing a single design language and a common mission.

The User App needed to feel empowering and intuitive: Radar (real-time discovery), NodWallet (community finance), Groups (collective buying), Care (anonymous giving), and Spin & Win (engagement rewards). The Admin platform needed power and clarity — tools for business owners to manage listings, track impact, and serve their community with confidence.

Scope of Work
  • End-to-End User App Design (iOS & Android)
  • Admin Dashboard Design
  • UX Architecture & User Flows
  • Design System & Component Library
  • Radar, NodWallet & Groups Features
  • Onboarding Experience Design
  • Prototyping & Handoff

Odio Digital
Director of Audio Visual Digital Marketing Agency Multi-Brand Canada
Odio Digital
Odio
Brand Amplifier Agency  ·  Multi-Client AV Direction
Reel / Campaign Stills

Odio Digital Inc is a Canadian digital marketing agency built on a single purpose: amplifying brands — turbocharging their digital marketing strategy for seamless scaling and measurable success.

As Director of Audio Visual, I led end-to-end AV production and creative direction across Odio's entire client portfolio — spanning brands across different sectors, each with its own voice, audience, and visual language.

The role required the rarest combination in creative work: technical mastery of the production pipeline and strategic clarity about what each brand needed to communicate. Not just making great-looking content — but making content that moved the needle for the brands it served.

Scope of Work
  • AV Production Direction (Multi-Brand)
  • Cinematography & Camera Direction
  • Post-Production & Colour Grading
  • Social Content Strategy & Execution
  • Brand Video & Campaign Delivery
  • Creative Brief Development
  • Motion Graphics Direction

MyQura
Creative Director Healthcare & Care Tech Nigeria Formerly MyCare Assistant
MyQura
MyQura
Africa's First Integrated Care Ecosystem  ·  Care. Comfort. Connection.
Brand / Campaign Visual

MyQura — formerly MyCare Assistant — is a landmark healthcare initiative building Africa's first integrated care ecosystem: combining a caregiver app, training institute, ambulance service, and residential care centre under one brand built on compassion and technology.

As Creative Director, the work was transformational in the most literal sense — overseeing the evolution from MyCare Assistant to MyQura, a rebranding that required not just a new name but an entirely new visual language, brand architecture, and communication strategy befitting an organisation with genuine national ambition.

Healthcare creative demands a different register: warmth without sentimentality, authority without coldness, and clarity that works for families navigating some of the most important decisions of their lives.

Scope of Work
  • Brand Rebrand (MyCare → MyQura)
  • Creative Direction & Visual Identity
  • Digital Brand Strategy
  • Campaign Direction & Execution
  • App & Platform Creative
  • Stakeholder Communication Design
  • Brand Tone & Messaging Framework

Nord Tank
Commercial Director Nord Automobile Africa's Premier Auto Corp Market Launch Nigeria
Nord Tank
Tank
Africa's Premier Automobile Corporation  ·  Market Launch Commercial
Commercial Stills / Reel

Nord Motion is Africa's premier automobile corporation — a bold, continent-defining statement about what African industry can build and bring to market. The Nord Tank is its most rugged expression: a vehicle built to command attention, inspire confidence, and signal a new era for African motoring.

I directed the very first commercials that introduced the Nord Tank to the market — the launch films that would define the vehicle's personality before the world had ever seen it move. First impressions in automotive advertising are everything. There is no second chance to introduce a car. The commercials had to carry the full weight of that moment: the authority of the brand, the character of the vehicle, and the ambition of an African company announcing itself to the world.

This is the work that exists at the sharpest intersection of my craft — filmmaking, brand strategy, and commercial direction — all three disciplines required simultaneously, under the highest possible creative standard.

Scope of Work
  • Commercial Concept & Direction
  • Cinematography & Camera Direction
  • Pre-Production & Storyboarding
  • On-Set Direction & Production
  • Post-Production & Colour Grade
  • Vehicle Launch Strategy
  • Brand Narrative & Tone
