STORYTELLER.

STORY-SHAPER.

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

Beyond this, I write for myself. My short stories, personal 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 article commissioned by Translated’s research centre, I write about the growing use of indigenous Nigerian languages online. Read HERE.

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.
