Profile
“Architecture is love. It is life itself.”
I place myself in every space I design, considering where light might dazzle the eyes while serving its function, and how structure can bring people together.

Graphic design
Posters I designed for MIAMI x CAGE, a party in Lagos, July 2025.
About
I believe architecture, at its best, goes beyond the construction of buildings. As designers we have a duty to give others a reason for being, and in doing so we find our own: our ikigai.
I found mine working as my mother’s right hand during site visits and supervisions in Lagos, seeing how thoughtful interventions shape both space and experience. My process is imaginative, sometimes literally dreamy. Each project is a chance to make places where people feel seen, welcomed and part of something larger.
Today I’m also a part owner of Meridian Conceptual Design Enterprise, a family firm we’re just starting.

I grew up in Lagos, a city of lagoons, and now design in Sudbury, a city of lakes on the Canadian Shield. My research looks at passive design for public buildings in Lagos’s hot, humid climate. My studio work designs for winters of −30 °C.
