We rarely think about what it costs a woman to be first. The first female doctor who was laughed out of lecture halls. The first astronaut who had to fight to be taken seriously. The first engineer in a room full of men who doubted her before she spoke. They gave; their comfort, their safety, their energy, long before they gained recognition. But here's what they couldn't have known: every ceiling they cracked became a window for the girl who came after. That is the truest form of #GiveToGain (https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23givetogain&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED). To every woman who stayed in the room when it was easier to leave, thank you. You gave more than you'll ever know. Happy International Women's Day.

Just a fun little project I experimented with. I created a short cinematic trailer called THE LAST SIGNAL: an action concept set in Lagos about a lone operative racing against time to keep the city connected. Built using Higgsfield for image and video generation, ChatGPT for scripting, and CapCut for editing. Also featuring the amazing Omowumi Dada. It’s amazing how AI tools are making it easier for creators to turn simple ideas into cinematic stories. Just experimenting… and having fun with it.

I built my sample portfolio as an interactive 3D room using Figma Make. https://baton-sway-12272497.figma.site Instead of a traditional portfolio site, I recreated my bedroom in Blender, brought it to life with animation, and made every object in the room clickable. Each hotspot opens a slide-in panel showcasing a different category of my work: Visual Design, Motion Design, Brand Identity, and Animation. The sphere lamp, the book shelf, the posters on the wall, even the character running on the treadmill, they all mean something. Every click tells a story. It is also uploaded on Figma community: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1609343334029057439 https://x.com/TheElzenitho/status/2027655365442105753?s=20 #FigmaMakeathon

Just dropped these three covers for Shine & Shadow – Issue 01 Been obsessed with this duality vibe lately… the way light shows one side of us and shadow hides the rest. Every silhouette feels like it’s telling that exact story. #Elzenitho #Designbender #GraphicDesign #Photoshop

What does “Truly Anywhere You Go” really look like? This unsolicited hero concept explores Starlink’s real advantage. Connectivity without limits. Unlike traditional networks that depend on coverage zones, Starlink works wherever you are. I love blending tools, storytelling, and design to turn ideas into visuals that speak for themselves. Multidisciplinary by nature. Story driven by design.

Creating stories or short films,without spending so much, is gradually becoming a reality. Here is a short test I worked on today and it looks really amazing. Before starting, I created a storyboard, perfected my detailed prompts, sketched out my scenes and jumped on the Ai platform.

A world inside a room. The National Theatre reimagined through scale, light, and surreal storytelling. This artwork began as a drone shot and became a layered exploration of perspective. I blended miniature and life-size elements, distorted the theatre and the train, and built a dreamlike scene one layer at a time.

I created this fictional drink brand a while ago and decided to bring it to life inside a Blender scene. The goal was simple. Build a product that feels alive in its world. A drink that belongs in rugged landscapes and quiet moments of strength. This is Grizzly. A flavour that hits with confidence. A design that stands firm in any terrain. A brand shaped by imagination and craft. Exploring ideas is one thing. Presenting them in a world where they feel real is another. This scene is a small step toward blending both.

Hello Everyone, Introducing Citizens Watch. Billions of people worldwide face a critical gap: communities have smartphones and connectivity, but no real-time way to warn each other about dangers and emergencies happening right now. Citizens Watch will transform every phone into a community watchtower. Users will report incidents across 11 categories, with photos, videos, and precise location data. Before you leave home, you check the map. Before your daughter takes that route, she checks the map. You see the fire three blocks away. The flood on the highway. Built Entirely on Anything Ai (https://create.xyz/) Build page of the project (https://www.createanything.com/build/4d3a5d2f-36f4-46a0-9b2c-558f9deea339?view=934c9585-b270-4ac3-abaa-41f2e1d85164)

Unreal Engine helps me shape the worlds I long for. Spaces where the mind settles, the air slows, and serenity feels close enough to breathe. My avatar began in Avaturn, was refined in Blender, and found its silence and movement inside UE5. I designed the sound in CapCut to complete the experience. #Elzenitho #designbender #3Danimation #UE5 #Blender

A detailed corporate profile crafted for First Scala Solutions Limited, a business and technology consulting firm. My role at Mbari HUB was to translate their values: Reliability, Excellence, and Innovation, into a structured, modern, and visually compelling document that reflects their position as a trusted partner for organizations navigating change. The result: a professional profile that communicates clarity, credibility, and forward-thinking energy.

The goal was simple, to capture serenity. A space where nothing feels rushed, where you can breathe and just exist. In a world that often demands so much, I made this to remind myself to slow down, appreciate quiet moments, and stay grateful for the little things. I wanted to create something that feels calm and alive. So I worked on this peaceful farm scene using a base model I got from Blender Market, then made it my own. I animated the Nigerian flag, added my avatar through Mixamo, brought in a few farm animals, and gave motion to the windmill turbine.

While working at Crevtus Studios, we decided to reflect on the things that worked well in 2023 and how we could improve upon them in the 2024 and beyond. Therefore, we compiled a book that encapsulates the highlights of Nigerian branding in 2023. I worked on the book design, marketing deliverables and social media animations. It was really a fun one. #ShareYourWork

#ShareYourWork (https://www.instagram.com/elzenitho/) As a multidisciplinary designer, this is one way I showcase my prowess in multiple software. Here is a video animation I created using Blender, After Effects, Figma, and Adobe Photoshop. The copy is entirely fictional and doesn't reflect the brand's offerings.
