What I'm looking for

I seek roles building and scaling purpose-driven digital platforms and brand ecosystems, with opportunities to lead strategy, mentor founders, and drive measurable growth in mission-led organizations.

I am a multidisciplinary entrepreneur and creative strategist with over five years of experience across branding, freelancing, supply chain operations, and digital platform architecture. I founded Lexillume Ventures to advance African entrepreneurship through ventures in education, creative services, commerce, and community-building.

As Founder and Platform Architect at Lexillume Ventures, I directed brand strategy, platform design, and ecosystem partnerships, launching initiatives including LexTalk, LexEd, LexBuzz, Lexillume Studio, and Lexillume Stores. I have completed 750+ freelance projects since 2019 on major marketplaces, delivering transcription, data entry, graphic design, and administrative solutions with consistent 5-star ratings.

My background combines formal study in procurement and supply chain management with practical skills in QuickBooks, e-commerce operations, web design and development (JavaScript, Node.js), SEO, and digital marketing. I have designed 50+ brand kits, developed packaging for product lines, and rebranded Wyse Superstores into Lexillume Stores to increase visibility.

I am passionate about coaching and mentoring entrepreneurs—having supported over 200 solopreneurs via LexTalk and LexEd—and I pursue continuous professional development through programs in entrepreneurship, coaching, and innovation to scale impact-driven ventures.
