ABOUT ME

I’m a director, creative director, and on-camera host. I’m also the first-born daughter, your “always outside” friend, and a proud first-gen Naija gal. And I am committed to telling stories in the multitude of narratives in which we live them.

Sometimes, that means ideating and executing viral content for mega artists like SZA. Or it’s directing a mini-documentary about the legacy of global icons such as Mariah Carey and Usher. On other days, it's collaborating with Fortune 500s to create branded content viewers *actually* want to watch (and earn millions of views along the way).

My projects have brought me around the globe: from Honolulu to Harlem, Lagos to Los Angeles. And my gregarious personality with my zest to entertain lands me in front of the camera from time to time.

Whatever the budget, artist, or subject matter, I crave stories with a unique point of view, pulse, and flavor. It’s my passion and priority to uplift the voices of Black and Brown storytellers  – creating content that’s as inclusive as it is adventurous. 

But enough about me. Let’s go make some magic, together.

I specialize in Directing, Creative Direction, On-Camera Hosting, Producing, Social Content Creation, Content Strategy & Art Direction.

Currently, I’m the Associate Director, Creative at Sony Music Entertainment, where I am responsible for overseeing and developing award-winning digital content for some of the world's biggest artists including Mariah Carey, Usher, AC/DC, SZA, Michael Jackson, Queen, Prince, Alcia Keys, Shaakira, Backstreet Boys and more.
