Nejo Tolulope,
Skill Champion Graphics Design
“As an autodidact, my
confidence was not too
strong before I joined
iCreate Africa. I taught
myself how to design,
learnt
graphic
design
online just two years ago
in my room. I did not plan
to do graphics in my widest
dream. Creativity comes
natural to me, perhaps this
is why it was easy to me.
I got my first confidence
boost when I was selected. I
didn’t even expect this. And
then I won. I got so much
momentum and can take
advantage of the platform.
The experience is a new
dawn to me. I am surely
on a path for better things
to come. Everything that
sounded
impossible
became a myth to me.

I think it’s crucial for
upcoming
graphics
designers to understand
that seeking inspiration is
different from imitating a
design.
To master your craft, you
must improve daily on your
skills. Be aware of trends,
but let your faith guide you.
As a graphic designer,
my long-term goal is to
become one of the best
product designers in the
world. Having my own
design studio where I will
deliver training to aspiring
designers and designing
and developing brands and
products. I plan to achieve
that by going to a design
school, obtaining the best
knowledge, thereby getting
better at my craft.”
