Makerspaces

I believe the right model for creative infrastructure in Nigeria is small, distributed makerspaces.

My vision of the future is a large network of community-run makerspaces around the country, built on top of existing infrastructure, but optimized to be sustainable and productive.

To prove this out, I've been working with Tushar Hathiramani, Tolu Kalejaiye and Toke Joseph to develop the Makerspace at 30 Ajasa Street into a production centre for clay, 3D printing and electronics.

Animation

Two years ago, I published my first film, Hanky Panky. It started as a project to understand how animation is made in Nigeria.

After that, I decided to incubate an animated series and make it successful. So I started working with the E Dey Happen team to develop their show, and we've been at it for some time now.

My immediate ambition is to make EDH a globally recognized series. Underneath this, my deeper motivation is to materially contribute to scaling Nigerian animation into a global industry.
