I am a cartoonist and realist artist with over 10 years of experience in the graphics and art industry. I have worked on a variety of projects, from advertising experience to commercials designs. I am passionate about telling stories through visuals and I believe that my skills would be a valuable asset to any organization that hires me.

Since I journeyed into working, art and design has become the only field I had walked throughout my entire 12 years’ working experience. I have worked with a couple of publishing industries as an illustrator and a creative designer and I have worked in various capacities as a freelance artist expressing peoples voice and views through cartoons and illustrative art.

Presently, I work with DAILY TRUST NEWSPAPER as an editorial cartoonist. Part of my duties and roles are not only limited to creating daily cartoons with character features, but I also create data visualization and info design by showing variables to readers both online and offline. I analyze data using the aid of Excel spreadsheet to get our variable inputs. I simplify data into visual models for easy understanding for readers, layman wherever they are.

Creation of design from data, figures and numbers by saving viewers from the stress of reading voluminous stories on paper. Illustrations are also regularly done to replace pictures unreachable for stories and features covered.

Consequently, my longer service in art and design has given me the opportunity to some training gained over the years on design and illustration skills and as well new innovation through online video training and information needed.

My most relevant education was my first degree in Animal Science. It made me to further love livestock animals as pets and value them equally as humans. My first degree project exposed me to rearing Goats which I took my readings and data on. I became attached to them like a father to an infant.
