Carbon Credit Card
My goal for this website was to showcase the company's about to be launched product in a visually explanatory way. I worked with a copywriter on this project who was able to work within the concept established. The client gave us a 5 star rating expressing his pleasure.

Woody Consult
As part of the organization's commitment to fostering tech culture in the country, this website was concieved as a veritable channel for publicing their cyber camp program. My approach was to employ a clear and coherent layout, unambigious typography and story-packed imagery.

Minixels
The idea here was to investigate how a minimalist aesthetic could work perfectly in a gallery of sorts. Minimalism suggests a preference for neutral hues, simple typography and uncluttered layout. The project was basically a test of my ability in doing really simple things.

Coding since 2014 In Lagos, Nigeria.
My life revolves around computers. I'm interested in the capacity of thoughtful experience design and implementation in giving life to ideas. I think great aesthetics imbue ideas with a viscereal look and feel, thus keeping users of a product interested.
I love listening to podcasts, learning about cultural trends, and feasting on visual designs in my spare time.
Tech.
Most Recently, I have been working in the React ecosystem with all the usual suspects i.e Webpack, Babel, Redux, Gatsby, etc. I'm a big fan CSS although increasingly adopting JSS as a nod to the component paradigm. My time is spent between PDFs advancing my skills, codepens and blog articles.
