ABOUT ME

I am a highly motivated and dedicated artist who is skilled in digital illustration and has deep roots in traditional crafts, such as sculpting and painting. I have been a self-taught artist ever since I was 13 years old and have only gotten better in understanding the fundamentals of graphic design through college education. As the oldest sibling of three children, my parents hail for Lagos, Nigeria, from the motherland that is Africa. Not only that, but I am also well-versed in the studies of American Indian culture, as part of my minor. My dream job is to become a comic book artist and then eventually break into the animation industry, where I hope to become a storyboard artist and character designer. I believe myself to be a jack of all trades when it comes to digital design, and I will do everything in my power to bring satisfaction to my clientele. EXPERIENCE EDUCATION
