Thank you, Ghana 🖤🇬🇭
After almost 6 years away, I finally returned to my home country—though sadly for my Grandma’s funeral (RIP Grandma). What was meant to be a difficult moment turned into a meaningful 2 weeks filled with reconnection and reflection.
•
I had the honor of experiencing the Homowo Festival, this time from a new perspective, as my Mum was elected Queen Mother since I last visited. I reconnected with old industry friends at @dex_ghana—the same people I began my journey with—and I couldn’t be prouder to see how far everyone has come. I even reunited with classmates from my primary school days, reminding me how deep my roots truly run.
•
“Sometimes you have to return to where it all began, not to start over, but to remember why you began.”
•
Ghana, you will forever be in my heart. 🖤🇬🇭

My 2025 Showreel
•
Grateful for an incredible year of growth, creativity, and meaningful projects. Thank you to everyone who supported me — and a special thank you to the clients and collaborators who trusted me with their vision. 🙏 #showreel #unrealengine #2025showreel
I came across @polestarcars on YouTube sometime ago and the brand captivated me with their elegance and design language. In trying to improve and work around my automotive skills using @unrealengine I decided to recreate an Ad for the brand.
•
•
This took me about 3 months to create and I hope you enjoy every bit of it!

I recently got asked “where does your best work come from?” That got me thinking and my answer was quite simple. 🤔
•
“My best works usually comes from chasing a feeling rather than an idea. I like building worlds that feel peaceful, slightly surreal, and a bit bigger than reality. It’s almost like a place you’ve never been but somehow recognise.”
•
I think this cinematic captures that perfectly 🙏. Mentally I’m there right now. 🧘🏽 #noai #unrealengine #justtrynnacreate

I’m just trynna live life through a new lens.

My entry for @_pwnisher_ #dreamsequence challenge.
This was a tough one, I don’t think I’ve ran into as many issues as I did on this project. In the end I didn’t give up and made it in a nick of time 😮💨

Let me know your thoughts on this, I went highly conceptual on this and tried to stick to the theme of @severancetvapple#dreamsequencechallenge #pwnisherchallenge #pwnisher

My return to photoshop since August 2025 🧍♂️ Yes it’s been that long, Unreal engine took over my life. 😭
•
•
Decided to cook up something with the OG software, I’ve been spending a lot of time in unreal engine creating and exploring worlds. Created this piece merging both worlds.
•
Do you think they’d survive? 👀

Latest upgrade to my workspace. Been having a lot of back issues the last previous months - like insanely bad. And my chair + sitting hours was a huge a factor, I can testify the last few days has been an amazing experience with this new chair.

24 🎉🥳— a year that feels calm. It’s not about rushing or proving anything anymore. It’s about being present, creating from the heart, and letting life flow the way it’s meant to. I’m stepping into this year with gratitude, love, and the quiet confidence that everything will fall in place. #newage #hbd
