If I had to sum up my journey in one word, it would be impossible !

I’m a fusion of curiosity, creativity, and strategic thinking. By day, I’m a brand & product designer based between Cotonou and Greensboro, shaping digital experiences that connect, inspire, and drive growth. By night (and most other hours), I’m an explorer of ideas, constantly pushing design, fitness, technology, and personal development boundaries.

Growing up, I was the kid glued to a screen gaming, storytelling, creating. While others saw distraction, I found direction. The digital world became my playground, sparking a fascination with how design influences behavior, emotions, and business success.

That passion led me to Africa Design School, where I refined my skills in digital design and strategy. But school was just the beginning. Real growth happened in the trenches working on projects that challenged me to think beyond aesthetics and build experiences that resonate.

I believe great design is more than visuals; it’s a strategic tool. My approach blends aesthetics with functionality, ensuring every design choice serves a purpose.


I balance user needs with business objectives, crafting experiences that not only engage but also drive tangible success. Whether it’s crafting intuitive user experiences, developing compelling brand identities, or optimizing digital products, my goal remains the same: to create impact.

Beyond the screen

Beyond the screen

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me breaking personal records at the gym, pushing my limits on a run, mixing tracks as a DJ, staying ahead of fashion trends, or diving into music that fuels my creativity. I thrive on continuous learning, experimenting with new ideas, dissecting design trends, and finding unexpected inspiration in everyday life.

Let’s build something remarkable together !

Some stories are meant to be shaped, others to be redefined. If you’re looking to push boundaries and create something truly impactful, let’s make it happen.
