FROM BUILDING INTERFACES FOR DEFI PLATFORMS TO SHAPING VISUAL IDENTITIES AND SOCIAL CAMPAIGNS, I ENJOY TURNING COMPLEX IDEAS INTO CLEAN, HUMAN-CENTERED EXPERIENCES. SOME MAY CALL ME EXPERIENCED.

MY LONG STORY SHORT
I gained admission to study Graphic Design under the School of Art at Ambrose Alli University driven by my passion for technological advancement and the world of design.
I got a job at Swirge, a social media platform built on the blockchain to give users full control and protection over their data on the internet. I worked closely with the marketing team through design and product marketing, gaining valuable experience in a fast-paced startup environment. This was where my passion truly skyrocketed.
I graduated from the prestigious Ambrose Alli University with a Second Class Upper (2:1) degree in Graphic Design, while also building with Oakchain, a blockchain educational platform focused on onboarding newcomers into Web3 and blockchain technology.
I landed several graphic design gigs with projects like Gainify, Blockcycle, AlgoFaminions, and FanBet. Most of these projects were built on the Algorand blockchain network, an American-based blockchain ecosystem. I played key roles as a social media graphic designer and UI/UX designer, and this was where I gained real-world design experience creating for thousands of users.
Looking back, I've had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of clients, from solo entrepreneurs to startups and well-known brands like Margarita Finance, Kreators, Solana Roundtable, Confessol, Walk Of David, NU Start Community, Wondercat AI, and many others. Each partnership has shaped the way I view businesses and added strong layers to my design journey, helping shape me into the designer I am today.
Talented designer, always eager to learn, grow, and listen closely to instructions.
