This video explores the hidden political and economic influence of global powers on Africa’s development, focusing on how foreign intervention, strategic interests, and long-term policy decisions have shaped the continent’s modern history.
Through powerful visuals, archival references, and data-driven storytelling, we break down the complex relationship between Washington and African nations, and how geopolitical strategies have impacted stability, leadership, and economic growth across the region.
This is not a surface-level take — it’s a deep dive into the systems, decisions, and consequences that are often overlooked in mainstream discussions.
Perfect for audiences interested in geopolitics, global history, and economic power structures.

Super cool!
As part of a creative brief, I developed the branding and menu design for BGL 🥯, a modern bagel bar concept where customers can build their own combinations from a wide range of ingredients.
The goal was to create a visual identity that felt flexible, approachable and playful, reflecting the customizable nature of the experience.
To support this, I designed an illustrated bagel mascot, experimenting with a more expressive and unconventional style compared to my usual work.
This project was a great opportunity to explore a lighter, more character-driven direction while maintaining a clear and cohesive design system.
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
I was just casually scrolling my gallery and stumbled on this memory from 2019, this was me right after discovering Adobe Photoshop and wait—why did younger me actually eat this up?? 😭I was already acting like I run the whole creative industry 💅but seriously no deadlines, no fear of client's expectations, just pure vibes and delulu confidence. it’s kinda crazy seeing how I started vs now, but this reminded me that I’ve always had it in me fr. lowkey proud of that version of me for just trying and creating without fear.
The growth is evident!😍
