About
Freelance creative working between New York City, Cape Town, and London. Within my practice, I utilize analog and digital mediums to capture the intimate, transient moments of everyday life. My multicultural background as a Nigerian-South African living abroad influences my desire to create compelling portraits that speak to a wide range of audiences and communities.
