About me
Hi! I’m an award winning London based creative, with a focus on filmmaking, creative direction and photography. As an Afro-Brit, I feel compelled to tell nostalgic stories that evoke raw emotions through captivating visuals. My work varies from personal projects that discuss the complexities of cultural identity and heritage, to commercial work for the likes of Nike and Taco Bell. Whether personal or commercial, at the heart of all my work, it is important that each piece can instigate a form of deeper refelection. It’s great to know what people think about my work but IMO it’s better to know how people feel about it...

    I was part of an amazing team at OK COOL who delivered a great campaign for Girl Effect. The campaign was called "Supposed to, Chose to" in celebration of International Day of the Girl where various influential women such as Demi Moore and Adwoa Aboah spoke about what was expected of them and how they challenged those expectations. The campaign can be found on the Girl Effect instagram page.
