Awon Ota (Yoruba: Enemies) New work! Here I visualized the beautiful but yet, chaotic scenes of what living in Lagos, Nigeria is from the lens of an average civilian, who's just trying to make it work.

Have you considered changing your process in order to land bigger clients? I decided to build this extensive two-in-one Brand Strategy & Identity System to help me position higher and differentiate from the old boring guidelines by offering dual-purpose solution that covers all touchpoints.

I structured it in 9 different chapters and 28 sub-categories, covering in-depth key strategic aspects from brand purpose, positioning, personality etc. to comprehensive visual & brand identity. It was built in Adobe Illustrator and is fully customizable. Now you might be wondering if made a use of AI in my workflow, not in particular for the content & design itself since this was a real client project. Rather, I used ChatGPT to better structure its table of contents.

Looks great! My approach depends a bit on the project. If I'm dealing with a big client, I'll definitely use a more in-depth process from the start. I think it's valuable to understand the client's company and their market positioning before jumping into the design side of things.

I’ve been volunteering for CreativeMornings/Lausanne for over a year now, and it’s been such a fun and inspiring journey ✨ I like to think of it as a small local TED Talk, with great coffee, delicious breakfast, and a really lovely sense of community. Over time, I’ve created quite a few posters for the events, so I thought I’d share a little roundup here. I’m very grateful to be part of something that celebrates creativity, connection, and the people who make this city so inspiring. And I’m already looking forward to all the beautiful events still to come.
