What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create high-quality motion work that connects brand strategy, product experiences, and storytelling, while continuing to develop original narrative-led animation.

I've created expressive, technically refined animation for brands including Coca-Cola, MTV Base, and Snapchat, with more than nine years in motion design.

Across AntzHub, MadeByN6, and VeraPax Technologies, I've designed motion graphics, directed creative concepts, provided art direction, and collaborated with marketing and product teams on promotional and product content.

I'm now freelancing on client projects while developing Pink Bandana, a narrative-led animated IP built around worldbuilding, emotional design, and adaptive animation. I also contribute to Nigeria's motion-design community through TEDxAbuja and industry exhibitions.
