About

I am a brand strategist, brand identity designer, and creative director who helps entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, nonprofits, and purpose-driven organizations build meaningful brands. I combine brand discovery, positioning, business insight, visual identity, and strategic communication to help organizations clarify who they are before deciding how they should look. My approach is grounded in clarity, thoughtful concept development, and identity systems designed to remain relevant over time.

I am also the founder and convener of the Ibadan Live Branding Event, where I lead an entrepreneurship ecosystem focused on practical branding education, business development, leadership, and collaboration. I enjoy guiding founders, building partnerships, coordinating creative teams, and sharing knowledge through initiatives such as the Logo Execution Course and ILBE Growth Letter. My goal is to create brands and learning experiences that are purposeful, commercially relevant, and built for lasting impact.

Sungai Solar Brand Identity

Sungai Solar — From Sunlight to Continuous Power Portfolio: https://www.behance.net/gallery/255378221/SUNGAI-FROM-SUNLIGHT-TO-CONTINOUS-POWER I designed Sungai’s brand identity from scratch. The brand operates in the solar energy space, serving people and businesses looking for solar power solutions. The goal was to develop an identity that connects with the brand’s focus on solar energy and continuous power while giving it a clear, recognisable visual presence. I handled the design myself, from the initial concept through to the visual identity.
