Graphic design is my passion?
Digital Magazines
Editorial Design | Digital Storytelling | Cultural Curation
I create visual solutions with a focus on editorial design and digital storytelling. As the founder and creative director of Sixteen x Nine, Community Chronicle and Blockchain Basics, I craft dimensional cultural artifacts that exist in the paradoxical space between tangible and intangible—3D volumes experienced through the black mirror of our screens, sculptures you can hold in your hand or place on your desk, yet manipulate only through swipe and zoom.
My design practice spans editorial systems, brand identity, and digital experiences, with particular emphasis on publications that elevate underrepresented voices. Community Chronicle was created for African-first information and history-making, ensuring our history never gets altered and we teach future generations.
In Web3, I design for African creative spaces—developing visual identities, promotional campaigns, and curatorial materials that amplify cultural expression and support decentralised creative economies.
Across both digital and print, I use design as a tool to challenge conventional paradigms and tell nuanced, resonant stories. Each publication becomes a dimensional cultural artefact—an intangible object that users navigate through haptic gestures, creating volume through interaction and space through exploration.

"1 Year of telling your stories defining our heritage"
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
My approach to editorial design recognises that digital publications exist in a liminal space—they are sculptures you can hold yet never touch, volumes that occupy three-dimensional conceptual space while residing in two-dimensional screens.
Through the black mirror interface, users engage with cultural artefacts through intimate gestures: the swipe that turns pages becomes archaeological excavation, the zoom that reveals typographic detail becomes scholarly investigation, the pinch that navigates layouts becomes curatorial exploration.
Each dimensional cultural artefact challenges conventional publishing paradigms by creating haptic relationships between user and content. Typography becomes topography, layouts become landscapes, and editorial sequences become navigable territories.
This approach transforms passive reading into active cultural exploration, where every gesture deepens engagement with underrepresented narratives and voices.
The permanence of blockchain technology ensures these dimensional artefacts exist as immutable cultural monuments—preserved not in physical museums but in digital stone, accessible to future generations through evolving interface technologies while maintaining their sculptural integrity across time.
