Bio

As a Creative Writer and Art Director, I write appealing copies for clients, create designs of characters in structure and appropriate costume for children’s books, scripts for whiteboard animation, explainer videos and 2D/3D animation for adverts. Additionally, I describe how the scenes or pages are to appear in consistence to the theme and focus. I have done promotional booklets for corporate bodies on the quest for advancing their products and causes. A few of the booklets I have done include: ‘Dettol Warriors’ for Reckitt Benckiser, ‘Smoke Screen’ for Coalition Against Tobacco, Promise Milk Supplements for Pfizer Nigeria, T-shirt designs for J7 Clothing, ‘Adventures of Freddy Do Little’ for Orderly Society Trust and lately in October 2016, The Peak Activity Book for Friesland Campina Wamco as a core feature for kids to get stimulated and engaged in the Peak Pecadomo Campaign. I have had a few weeks stint at the Cartoon section of the Guardian Newspaper, Lagos. From February 2014 to April 2015, I was a Creative Writer and Art Director for ActNow NG- Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s current Vice President Political Research & Branding agency. A think-tank organization aimed at raising the socio-political consciousness of Nigerians to rightfully demand and secure better governance. I wrote engaging copies for 2015 Elections campaign messaging materials and stories that were highly effective in selling the APC Change manifesto. I was also an excellent Social Media Strategist, influencing and managing public opinion and headed a team on this. I collaborated with fellow artists in creating caricature designs of political characters in structure and appropriate costume for the production of posters, comic books, memes, t-shirts and whiteboard animations that were shown on TV Stations across the country eg Channels TV and Television Continental (TVC). Sometime in May 2015, I did the Unemployment Definition Posters for Nigerian Bureau of Statistics. I am presently a Co-Founder of 78 Designs Ltd,- A design thinking firm that provides innovative ideas, contents and meaningful stories that aids the awareness and performance of brands across all points of interface. I play a role as a Creative Writer & Concepts Research & Developer. I am also the Brand Manager/Creative Director for Bedmate Furniture Nigeria Ltd—Nigeria’s foremost multinational luxury furniture maker. Lastly but not the least, my spy thriller series, ‘Conversation In A Dark Alley’ was nominated for the Etisalat Flash Fiction Award, November 2016.
