I believe good storytelling can change the world; the problem is that we need more diverse voices telling these stories and more brands supporting and amplifying them in an authentic way.
As a Black London-based Creative Director, Illustrator & Strategist, I use multimedia storytelling to engage new audiences in more impactful ways.
Over the last 5 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with world-renowned brands like Nike, adidas, MTV, Warner Music and many others on experimental and creative launch campaigns, all whilst developing my own immersive Trap-Opera VR/AR project entitled "Munkination" in partnership with the Royal Opera House, Visualise and Think Film Impact Productions.
Through my work I explore the intersections between art, music, and immersive technology and how they help create more compelling and equitable narratives around topics that affect us all.
I believe that the role of a storyteller is to teach people what they don't already know, empower them to do things they never thought possible, and inspire them to care about things outside of their own reality and everyday that’s what I hope to achieve with the work I put out into the world.

- THRONE"The attempt to satisfy greed is like drinking salty water when thirsty. When lost in greed we look outward rather than inward for satisfaction, yet we never find enough to fill the emptiness we wish to escape. The real hunger we feel is for knowledge of our true nature." - Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
