About 

I am a prospective individual who is deeply immersed in ART and ARCHITECTURE. I have a BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE (RIVERS STATE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, RIVERS STATE. NIGERIA) and a MASTER'S DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE from the ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY, San Francisco CA. USA

I am a very pragmatic individual, who's design philosophy and ideology are motivated by the users + the spatial experience than the form. I do approach designs from a critical + analytic point of view, and tilt towards the idea of FRAGMENTATION so to say "DECONSTRUCTIVISM".

My project experience lies primarily in RESIDENTIAL (45%), COMMERCIAL (20%) and MODEL MAKING (35%). I have been actively involved with senior Architects from conceptual design to construction documents and sometimes construction stage for almost 5.5years both within and outside the territory of the United States.
