From Loeries and Effies to Africa’s first Gold Cannes Young Lion and D&AD awards. I’m incredibly grateful for every win, and for having full access to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity two times before turning 30.
I was also selected twice as an LIA Creative Liaisons mentee, lived and created ads in two countries across two continents, and connected with people from all over the world. That’s what I’m most thankful for. The people. Getting to connect with humans from different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life.

Dear future employer:
If you want someone who brings a little life to the office (yes, I skip in the hallways between briefs), wants to invest in the next generation of talent (yes, I’ve mentored interns), and loves creative problem-solving to the core (yes, I took a six-month sabbatical and still couldn’t stop creating for fun), then I’m definitely your person.
