Set designer and art director, Lagos
I build rooms for stories — stage sets, film interiors and the occasional window that stops traffic on Awolowo Road.
Editorial, Vogue Africa, 2025
A dust-coloured arcade for a sixteen-page fashion story, built in six days and lit entirely by one window.
The brief was the dry season indoors. We built three plaster arches from salvaged doors and let the afternoon light do the rest.
Everything in frame was sourced within two kilometres of the studio.
Feature film, 2024
Production design for a chamber drama set in a single rented room over one long night.
Stage, Terra Kulture, 2024
Two arches and a tide line. A set that floods by a centimetre each act.
Short film, 2023
A red chair, a green wall and a lot of waiting.
Retail windows, Alara, 2022
Four windows for a Lagos concept store, changed with the light every season.
Twelve years designing for theatre, film and editorial. I trained as an architect, which is why my sets tend to be buildable before they are beautiful.
I work from a small studio in Yaba with two carpenters and a scenic painter, and travel for productions across West Africa and Europe.
