Work
Twelve years of brand and design, for the Moët Hennessy houses, South African Tourism and a run of independent clients. Every section below states the role I actually held on it.
Background
- In-house senior design, Moët Hennessy Nigeria
- Agency work via Utopia Media Group on ABInbev, Reckitt Benckiser and South African Tourism
- Independent practice serving clients in the United States, Africa and elsewhere
- Daily tech and AI video reviews on YouTube, which is where the technical side stays current
The first two are employment and agency history. Those companies are not clients of this practice and are not presented as such. The role line on each section says what I did, and nothing beyond that.
Web, built and maintained
Independent practice · site build and care
Sites designed, built and still running. Each one is shown as it loads today, on a desktop and on a phone, because a site that looked right on launch day and a site that still works years later are two different claims. These are the second kind. Business email and domain authentication are configured as part of the same job, and kept working afterwards.
MY ROLE: Designer and build. Ongoing maintenance, hosting and business email.

Decks and pitch documents
Independent practice · document design
Investor decks, corporate profiles and product explainers for technology, energy, logistics and financial services companies. Documents built to be read by someone deciding whether to commit money, so the structure carries the argument and the design keeps it legible.
MY ROLE: Designer.
Reports, brochures and guides
Independent practice · document design
Long-form business documents for consulting, construction, HR and professional services. Multi-page layouts with a running grid and type hierarchy, so a twenty-page document still reads as one piece from cover to back.
MY ROLE: Designer.
Menus and hospitality print
Independent practice · document design
Print pieces produced to a house brand standard, set for the press and the room they are used in.
MY ROLE: Designer.
Hennessy
Moët Hennessy · campaign
A continuous run of Hennessy activations: headline nights, the hip-hop and basketball tie-ins, the Masters programme, seasonal executions and on-trade packaging. Each carried the house lockup, the bottle treatment and a fixed type hierarchy, so a year of separate events still read as one campaign.
MY ROLE: Design lead on concept and key visual. Designer on adaptation and production artwork.
Moët & Chandon
Moët Hennessy · event campaign
Moët Day and Moët Night ran as a paired campaign, the same house furniture in two registers of light. Extended into venue-specific bills, a Saint Valentine execution and a café menu.
MY ROLE: Design lead, campaign artwork and rollout.
Veuve Clicquot Bold
Awards programme
Announcement artwork for the Bold programme: the award calls, the Bold Future strand, the jury reveal, the winners and the printed menu for the ceremony. Portrait-led layouts with room for long names and titles, held to the house yellow.
MY ROLE: Designer, announcement and event artwork.
Booze.ng & Drinks.ng
Spirits retail
Retail-side artwork for the spirits e-commerce channel: web banners at fixed ad sizes, in-app promotional screens and trade flyers, including co-branded Moët Hennessy placements.
MY ROLE: Designer, digital and trade artwork.
Nights and activations
Spirits portfolio
Event bills across the wider spirits list, each built to the brand it belongs to rather than to one studio style.
MY ROLE: Designer, concept and artwork.
Lagos Polo
Tournament programme
A tournament fixture calendar run as a weekly set: each bill on one layout skeleton so the run could be produced fast and still read as one programme at thumbnail size.
MY ROLE: Designer, template system and weekly artwork.
Kratos
Identity and weekly output
A lounge mark made to survive a flyer, a cup and a lit wall, and to read in a dark room. Then the weekly bills built from it: resident nights, live sets and guest artists, all on one system.
MY ROLE: Design lead, identity, then designer on the weekly artwork.
Bamby
Identity
A soft-serif wordmark with a drawn parasol counter, built with an animated version for screen.
MY ROLE: Design lead, identity.
Altmall
Retail social kit
A retail feed produced from one layout kit: fixed positions for the price, the product cut-out and the call to action, so a week of offers could be built quickly and still read as a set when the grid is seen at once.
MY ROLE: Designer, template kit and weekly posts.
The Spark
Editorial platform
Artwork for a newspaper's youth platform, produced against a guideline system so the in-house team could keep producing without me.
MY ROLE: Design lead, system and guideline document.
South African Tourism
Press advertising
Press advertising for the South African Tourism account, built to newspaper column widths and turned around against the press schedule.
MY ROLE: Agency work via Utopia Media Group. Designer, layout and press-ready artwork.
ElevateIT
US technology summits
Event collateral for a United States technology summit series: the main programme flyer, sponsor cards, roundtable bills and venue artwork, produced on a repeating event cycle.
MY ROLE: Designer, event collateral and sponsor artwork.
Unifoam
Print production
A twelve-month wall calendar: one date grid repeated across the year, product photography placed to the same crop each month, artwork prepared to press.
MY ROLE: Designer, layout, retouch and press-ready artwork.
Identity, stationery and livery
Independent practice · brand application
Marks, print stationery and vehicle livery for a Nigerian food and drinks group and a haulage company. One identity carried from a business card through to the side of a delivery truck, so the same company is recognisable at arm’s length and at thirty metres.
MY ROLE: Designer.
Packaging and product
FMCG
Pack artwork and product presentation across tea, tissue and bottled water, taken to mockup for sign-off.
MY ROLE: Designer, pack artwork and presentation.
Working together
Brand, campaign and web design is available as its own engagement, separate from the email and domain work. Tell me what you are making and I will tell you what it takes.
