About

I'm a formally trained Software Engineer turned Artist & self-taught Designer [now formally trained] with over 8 years of experience crafting delight through impactful interfaces, experiences & artefacts

DHQ® Process

My practice focuses on the application of computational techniques as a tool to augment the design & art direction process

I’m a creator at heart & I’m deeply passionate about:

a) Building platforms & systems that enable creation, encourage tinkering while empowering businesses & individual creators

b) Designing novel, effective interactive experiences that challenge the status quo

Ethos

I’ve lived in 4 countries 🌍(Cameroun, Seychelles, Nigeria & Canada) and visited over 15 more in my short lifetime as I believe exposure to new environments, opinions & cultures is one of the most effective ways to decrease implicit bias while increasing knowledge, understanding & awareness of our world & its varied occupants
