More About Me

I'm a creative production coordinator in Los Angeles working across entertainment, marketing, and fashion. I grew up between Lagos and the UK, trained in fine art, and moved into film, then animation.

I've supported pitch strategy and awards-season promotion on Disney's Iwájú at Kugali Media, directed the promotional film for Live Nation's Mutha Festival, ran creative media for FAST@UCLA's brand partnerships including Nike, and coordinated multi-platform campaigns for UCLA Student Affairs (2M+ audience). I also wrote and directed CTRL 4C, an original animated short, and founded Co Curate, a creative studio.

Next, I'm moving into creative production and entertainment marketing, staying close to the work while shaping how it's positioned.
