UI/UX Designer

My first TED talk was sent to me by my then boss, Donald Okudu. It must have been the talk on education and creativity by Ken Robinson or The Danger of Single side story by Chimamanda Adichie. Anyways, this led to my affinity about anything TED. I later got involved in volunteer for the first TEDx event in Port Harcourt-TEDxStadiumRoad, also organised by Donald. I was part of the 2014 TEDxYouth@OrdinanceRd organizing team. In 2016, after relocating to a new city, I organised TEDxUyo. A year later in Lagos, TED came to town for the Ideas Search and TEDxWestAfrica Organizers Summit. This event offered a great opportunity to meet most of the TED team at the time.
