STORYTELLER.

STORY-SHAPER.

I am a storyteller and editor living and working in the United Kingdom. I co-founded Asterism, a communication company where my team and I get to work on some really cool projects that mix storytelling with other art forms.

Of course, I love writing my own stories, and you’ll find my personal essays, articles, and fiction in some anthologies and magazines.

Here’s a glimpse into what I do…

CREATIVE CONSULTANT

Whether I am creating for myself or helping someone else to share their story, art, or brand, I approach it all with a storytelling mindset!  

At Asterism, I co-lead a team in birthing brands, books, and telling organisational stories. We provide bespoke services, from website development to branding, and other communication services.

I have a master’s in Corporate and Marketing Communication from IE Business School in Spain, and I have consulted on some absolutely amazing projects! Recently, I co-curated and led the writing team on Discover Nigeria, a project celebrating Nigeria’s culture, people, and places. In 2021, a version of the project set the Guinness world record for the largest photobook.

WRITER

I ghost-write, helping government and business leaders share their ideas via speeches and books. I also tell brand stories through copywriting and documentary writing.

Of course, there’s my personal creative writing. My short stories, essays, and articles can be read in Lagos Noir, Mas Palou, Saraba, Garage, Lagos 2060, The Republic Journal, and other places! In 2021, I was a writer-in-residence at Mas Palou’s Spring Residency.

The sum of my work is driven by a firm belief that nuanced stories—whether non-fiction or fiction—have the power to build worlds.

In my latest essay for The Republic Journal, I write about the enduring message of Achebe’s ‘No Longer At Ease’.

Another of my proudest projects is my contribution as Project Director on the I Am a Nigerian In… book collection by Tani Series. It’s been a delight working on a unique brand and an extensive collection that features stories of courage, creativity, and culture.

EDITOR   

I started my career as a copyeditor, working with two newspaper houses and then one of Nigeria’s biggest book publishers. Shaping someone else’s work through developmental editing and copyediting still brings me a lot of joy, and it’s one of the ways I get to support other writers and businesses.
