Hi there!
About
I’m Tomi, a builder at heart.
As a seasoned multidisciplinary creative, digital professional, consultant, and entrepreneur, I am driven by a relentless passion for redefining how people experience brands, interact with digital platforms, and consume information. My career, shaped by over a decade of experience at the intersection of design, strategy, and innovation, spans a range of industries, from in-house roles to agency and consulting environments.
With a deep understanding of information and creative technology, I focus on shaping, scaling, and unifying brand-led digital experiences. I have worked extensively to drive strategic growth for direct-to-consumer (D2C) and business-to-business (B2B) digital services, leading cross-functional teams across global regions to deliver innovative and impactful solutions.
In addition to my work, I elevate discussions on Africa’s sustainable development challenges and opportunities through comprehensive analyses, insightful reports, and compelling narratives. Beyond publishing, I push the boundaries of creative expression and business innovation by leveraging emerging technologies like AI in art, design, media, and technical applications.
As a speaker, trainer, and mentor, I engage with individuals, communities, and aspiring creators, offering insights and guidance to empower the next generation of professionals. If my work resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how we can create something remarkable together.
