I’m a photo editor and multidisciplinary designer blending visual storytelling with UI/UX thinking.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a creative, detail-oriented photo editor and multidisciplinary designer with experience across professional retouching, photography, graphic design, and UI/UX exploration. I combine visual storytelling with user-centered thinking to deliver polished images and engaging digital experiences.
In my recent role as a Photo Editor (Hybrid) at Ijeworks Media, I managed full post-production workflows from image selection to final delivery. I improved visual consistency through advanced color correction and retouching, designed marketing assets like YouTube thumbnails, and increased workflow efficiency with structured file management and faster turnaround times.
Over the years, I’ve delivered high-end editing for clients at Photonimi Studio, Losgiddy Media, and Elite-Studio—improving client satisfaction, reducing delivery turnaround times, and producing promotional graphics and photobook layouts. I also bring a design mindset from tools like Photoshop, Figma, and Canva, along with foundational front-end development skills (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, learning) to support future UX and digital product work.
