I'm a filmmaker. Sometimes I do other stuff too, like photography and graphic design. I graduated with a degree in Visual Arts and Communication Design from Eastern Mediterranean University, Cyprus and begrudgingly joined the workforce of millions of other artists in Lagos, Nigeria. My work ranges from documentaries with NGO’s focusing on displaced survivors of Boko Haram terrorist attacks, to short films tackling the intriguing questions in life, like “what is love?”. In my free time I enjoy sleeping, watching movies/series, baking, and of course, eating what I bake. Feel free to get in touch with me for work enquiries or just to say hi.
