Location Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria
Introduction I was born in Mexico city a little over two decades ago while my father served as Nigerian Ambassador to Mexico and Belize. I come from a family of eight (8) and I am the fourth of seven children. Growing up in a relatively large household was fun in Nigeria. For some reason, I fell in love with fine arts- fashion & creative design and this influenced my decision to study Fine Arts and Design as a First degree. I majored in Graphic Design and Advertising and graduated with Honors in 2006. I immediately challenged myself to get a second degree in another field as I was forced to believe that I would not survive on arts alone. I bagged a Masters degree in International Management from a top 10 UK university in 2008. Now with dual experience, I teach fine arts as I wait to propel myself into advertising world as a multi-media executive. I love cuisine, traveling and teaching. But most importantly, I spend time as an Art Director in a multi-media printing press co-founded with my husband.
Interests I love nature, the mystics of the weather, atmosphere and habitats. I love the arts- Painting, Graphics, Sculpture, Music, Dance, Drama and Folklores. Traveling brings joys to me as I experience new cultures, languages, food and meeting people.
