Growing up, I have always been interested in storytelling and business. I am a graphic designer, an illustrator, and a storyteller, and an entrepreneur who's also passionate about African Cultures. Growing up, I always found myself buying hundreds of sketchbooks and exploring my surroundings through drawing and illustration. What I love about Graphic Design is the power you get from it, for design can communicate to a large mass even if there are cultural, linguistic, or geographic differences. My goal is to use design as a gateway for people without a voice, to show their stories and their truth.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
