About
My Story
My journey began in 2011 with a simple Nokia mobile phone, a notebook, and a desire to understand my identity, leadership, and change.
The making
Present practice
Today I design identity, brands, and systems for mission-driven leaders and organisations, working at the intersection of design, technology, and social change, from an African and Global South perspective. My practice runs the full range of communication design, and reaches across digital media and research.
Study and practice
I then deepened the work through a Master's (Distinction) in Media Practice for Development and Social Change at the University of Sussex, as a Chevening Scholar. My research there spanned media and development, design research, digital activism and social movements, documentary and interactive storytelling, and questions of gender, culture, power, and identity. I refined my practice through independent brand strategy and design from 2021 to 2023, then formalised the next phase as FA Creative Studio in November 2023, a brand and multimedia design studio working with mission-driven leaders and organisations.
Leverage Africa and SocialGood
The year 2018 brought two turning points. Seasoned Life Journal merged with the Guild of African Patriots to form Leverage Africa, a leadership-development organisation I co-founded and led as Executive Director until 2025; its Leverage Africa Conference grew into a pan-African youth platform. In the same year I co-founded SocialGood Lagos, a United Nations Foundation +SocialGood chapter, and led it as Executive Director, working on new media and technology for development and social change. Through it and through global networks I have convened, advocated, and taken part in high-level conversations on social innovation, inclusion, and development.
Bramo Digi
In 2016 I founded Bramo Digi, a digital agency supporting brands across West Africa through strategy, design, and communication. It worked with 35+ brands and trained 200+ leaders, deepening my move into design as a strategic craft.
Leverage Conference
My path has not run in a straight line. My first degree is a Bachelor of Science (Education) in Physics from Lagos State University, and I came to design through science, teaching, writing, and community-building. That range is the point, not a detour. In 2015, while still at university, I launched Leverage Conference, convening young people around leadership, technology, and nation-building. Over three years we trained hundreds of young Nigerians across Lagos and Ibadan, reinforcing my conviction that change takes hold when people have both a clear sense of who they are and the structures to act on it.
Origins
I was a teenager working through questions of purpose, and writing became the way I made sense of them. What started as a small online community became a long-term path of building across writing, design, leadership development, and social innovation. At 16 I launched Seasoned Life Journal, a platform for personal leadership and identity development. Unable to afford a developer, I taught myself to code and design, and over the years it reached over 20,000 readers across 37 countries. That early work shaped my belief that clarity and meaning are not accidental. They can be designed.

It began with a teenager, a phone, and a notebook.
I have travelled a long way from there, but the concern underneath has never moved: how leaders are formed and how the communities, systems, and institutions around them are designed.
Design is the discipline I work through.
