I graduated with a BA Fine and Applied Arts from the University of Benin in 2004, and a BA Illustration and Visual Media at the London College of Communication in 2017 after which I have balanced a day job with freelance Illustration and character design. I have worked on illustrations for Penguin Books Random House ( Libby Jackson’s “ A Galaxy of Her own” and Rehan Khan’s “ A Tudor Turk”).

I am consistently sketching in pursuit of unique visual languages that expresses ideas as I love conjuring up my own backstories, whether it is for a brief I have been commissioned to execute or on a personal project. These range from character development/design to illustrations for children’s story and picture books as I am one to embrace the phrase that “the possibilities are endless”.
