About Me
I’m the creative behind Directed by D — a multidisciplinary content creator, photographer, videographer, and creative collaborator driven by storytelling, culture, and intentional design.
My journey into creativity is grounded in both art and structure. I earned my undergraduate degree in Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, where I developed a strong foundation in problem-solving, systems thinking, and precision. I later went on to earn a Master’s degree in Data Analytics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, a background that deeply informs how I approach creative work today — with strategy, clarity, and measurable impact.
I am Nigerian, and my culture plays a meaningful role in how I see the world and tell stories. It influences my eye for detail, rhythm, emotion, and celebration — elements that consistently show up in my work. I’m inspired by human connection, movement, faith, fashion, and moments that feel real and timeless.
Professionally, I’ve worked on scene for over 40+ weddings and 50+ events, ranging from corporate gatherings and brand activations to birthday parties, baby showers, and large church conferences. These experiences have sharpened my ability to adapt quickly, anticipate moments, work seamlessly with teams, and deliver under fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
In addition to leading my own projects, I also work as a production assistant for other photographers and videographers, supporting on shoots, managing equipment, capturing behind-the-scenes content, and ensuring smooth execution from setup to wrap. This collaborative experience has strengthened my understanding of production workflows and reinforced the value of teamwork in bringing creative visions to life.
At Directed by D, my goal is simple: to create visuals that feel intentional, authentic, and impactful. Whether I’m leading a shoot, supporting another creative, or crafting content for brands and individuals, I approach every project with care, creativity, and purpose.
This is where strategy meets storytelling — and where moments are thoughtfully directed.
