enthused by the politics and psychology of space-making, my work is founded on the research and intent behind each design decision.

nigerian origin. american born. south african raised. as a third culture kid who grew up on three different continents, experiencing so many places, cultures, and people brought me to the psychology of spaces — how we feel in and navigate them based on our different understandings of function and beauty. 

collaborative, hybrid and global, my practice encompasses design, strategy, and communications across architecture, landscape design, production & set design, exhibition design and experiential programming. for the last five years i have worked with architects, fellow designers, creative agencies, artists and non-profits to create immersive spatial experiences. projects span london, vienna, ljubljana, new york, los angeles, chicago, baltimore, lagos and lungi, sierra leone with collaborators including some place studio, fourtwo creative and openbox. 

i am currently cooking up my own studio with a special project in mind as a NEW INC member in their social architecture track. at the same time, i am also doing new business strategy at experience design studio local projects.

previously, i worked for design architecture firm adjaye associates as a communications & research lead and lead experience design for a non-profit and creative healing space for black women healing from sexual trauma called the body: a home for love.

i hold a dual bachelor’s degree in international relations and african studies from the university of pennsylvania. 

i’ve also had locs since i was six.
