With over 8 years of design experience, including 4 years in product design, I love working with teams to bring ideas to life, test them, and make them even better.

 

My journey into the world of design was fueled by a desire to create something that reflected my unique vision. This passion first materialized in the form of Fearless Design, a goth-themed clothing line I launched in Nigeria. At the time, the lack of local goth-themed designers and the prohibitive cost of importing such products drove me to take matters into my own hands. Without any formal training, I taught myself Photoshop and Illustrator, mastering the tools necessary to bring my designs to life. This was more than just a business venture; it was an expression of my creative identity. Within six months of launching, I generated over a million Naira in revenue, proving that my instincts for design and entrepreneurship were on point. This experience ignited a deeper passion for design, leading me to transition into corporate branding and ultimately, product design.
