Welcome
A design tycoon who grew up on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria and is currently an architecture student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I discovered my architectural design creativity and visualization in my final year of high school, after re-designing the building layout and spaces of my high school without any architectural training. I want to share my stories, photos, thoughts, travels and projects.
