Nene is an Executive Creative Director, with Art Direction being my main discipline. Having worked in the creative advertising industry for over a decade. She has worked with brands such as Wall Street Journal, Disney, L’Oréal, HP, Warner Bros, Jaguar, Pepsi, Pizza Hut, Visa, Samsung and Vodaphone amongst many others. Her experience crosses both agency and client side including Digitas, Dare, MC Saatchi, JWT, Wunderman, BBDO and Adam&EveDDB.
I concept, create, craft and art direct digital product designs, campaign/experience/content design, photo shoots and video shoots. As well as assemble, manage and direct creative teams (developers, strategists, makeup artists, models, photographers, videographers, stylists set designers etc.)
I'm also a visual designer mainly interface design, UI and a working knowledge of UX/CX principles. I love digital campaign idea generation, layout, and brand art direction; they are my core abilities as well as having an excellent grasp on print design as well.

- DC's Elseworlds Urban City Sirens - Character Photoshoot: The FlashThe ElseWorlds comics and storyline is DC’s What if? in print exploring stories and situations that won’t affect the canon. Back in 2014, we came up with a similar idea and called it the Urban City Siren concept, a means for us to interpret the characters in a new and interesting light that was unique to us. This was my interpretation of the Flash character. Everything about this Flash is obviously about speed, but enhanced by Wing Chun which is also about speed but coupled with precision. Woul
- Project Embrace - Proud to be me campaign 2018The Project Embrace #Afrovisibility billboard campaign aimed to contribute to changing the narrow perception of beauty and bias against afro textured and curly hair by creating positive, beautiful images of that hair type on billboards. From over 400 women who applied for to be part of the campaign, 6 were chosen, photographed and filmed. Each poster celebrated the beauty of each of the 6 women.

- LEGO DC Super-Villains UI DesignWorked as part of the design team at Spov, who were hired by TT Games to create and design the UI for the Lego DC Super Villans game. We went with the chaos and disorganised style that the DC villains would have. Elements were the in-game interface including character selection, customisation and game elements.
- Intersteller BeautyThis beauty story is inspired by the film Interstellar and makeup texture artist Danessa Myricks. Lori Bee wrote this concept about travel and familiarity in a place that isn't familiar. One of my sources of inspiration is films, so we tied it back to a story which has similar themes.
