I am a seasoned Senior Art Director with over 13 years of experience in the advertising industry. My journey in the creative field began in April 2012 as an intern at Creativexone, where he spent two years honing my craft before joining X3M Ideas in 2014. A year later, I was handpicked to help establish 7even Interactive, a then-new agency that has since grown into one of Nigeriaโs most formidable creative powerhouses.
During my tenure at 7even Interactive (2015โ2021), I played a pivotal role in shaping the agencyโs success. Notably, in 2016, I worked on an anti-rape campaign that earned a Bronze Award at the Loeries Awards in South Africa.
I was the Creative Lead at Oliver Nigeria, where I spearheads campaigns for Diageoโs International Premium Spirits brands. Throughout my career, I have worked with an extensive roster of brands, including Johnnie Walker, Cรฎroc, The Singleton, McDonaldโs, Fidelity Bank, First Bank, Red Bull, Uber, Betway, Dangote Cement, DStv, 9mobile, Lagos State Government, and many more.
I'm passionate about storytelling, brand building, and impactful design, and I continue to push creative boundaries in the industry. Beyond advertising, I have a deep love for music discovery, I love exploring new genres and sounds.
