visual artist and graphic designer

I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and graphic designer whose work sits at the intersection of African identity, storytelling, and contemporary culture. My practice spans digital illustration, brand design, pattern-making, and conceptual art, with a strong focus on narrative-led visuals.

At the core of my work is a desire to document, reinterpret, and celebrate African experiences in a way that feels both grounded and forward-looking. I am interested in how design and art can preserve heritage while also challenging how African creativity is represented in modern spaces. My work often explores themes of identity, womanhood, memory, and cultural symbolism.

Pushing culture forward, for me, means creating work with intention — visuals that do more than look good, but carry meaning, spark conversation, and reflect lived experiences. I am particularly passionate about building platforms and opportunities for African creatives, whether through collaboration, exhibitions, or storytelling-led projects.


I believe creativity is not only a tool for expression, but for legacy. Through my practice, I aim to contribute to a visual language that is unapologetically African, emotionally resonant, and globally relevant.
