About

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”.

This was a personal project dedicated to all health practitioners who regardless of the severity of the pandemic, ensured that sacrificing not only their time, but their lives to the cause of ensuring we remained healthy and safe, was most paramount. They are the real heroes. This finally got recognised by the British National Health Service and displayed on buildings as digital displays. illustration
