About

I’m a Blender-specialist 3D animator and generalist based in Lagos, Nigeria, with 4+ years of studio and freelance experience creating cinematic animation, product visualization, and storytelling-driven visuals. I work across the full production pipeline, from concept and scene setup to animation, lighting, rendering, compositing, and final delivery, so each project stays consistent, polished, and production-ready.

I’ve delivered 50+ projects for commercials, entertainment, promotional campaigns, and investor-focused technical visualization, and I currently create high-volume cinematic 3D content for a fast-paced YouTube channel. I’m also the founder of D.A. Animations, a recipient of the Reckless Engines 3D Animation Challenge (2024), and I enjoy mentoring others too, having taught beginner Blender and animation skills at a school level.
