What's my professional experience
" I started my first creative career as a Consuldeveloper - coined from two words: "Consultant & Developer" - which is the first job I created for myself in 1998. A Consuldeveloper is a job creator. My main job duty was to listen to "jobseekers" talk about what type of job they wished they had. I had made a bold decision a few years earlier to dismiss college. I just thought I could become the next Bill Gates or Richard Branson. I knew I had a knack for creating enterprises, I was bored after first semester of "University" and I was just a mad genius around any computer. I put in the work at "Aptech", spent 3 years learning and acquiring programming skills like C++, JAVA, C#, VB, .NET FRAMEWORKS, Web Development {HTML,Swish,Action Scripts, Javascripts, SQL....endless list} With this I have worked in Startups, Advertising, IT, Entertainment and then I got my aha!"
What's my creative experience
....I started my second creative career as a talent scout - I needed a network. I needed to collaborate with other creative minds. I needed to create an enterprise. I dreamed of launching a startup. So, I started attending fashion shows, freelancing as a fashion writer. I started having detailed conversations about planning and attending fashion events, eventually booking gigs for myself as a backstage photographer and booking new models for shows. I had expanded my aha moment - my passion for Information technology made me create a unique startup. With this I have worked in Startups, Fashion, Photography, Media and Entertainment.
What is my CORE Interest
... #TEDBI- I'm very interested in Technology, Entertainment, Design, Branding and Innovation. With a background in Software Engineering.
Highlights.
... I'm creative director of a telecommunications enterprise called Leucci Communications Limited. I'm founder of an all male model agency and menswear atelier called ecHe.
Other things about me...
... I love reading, freelancing, joining an enterprise, creating an enterprise. I love selling. I love making money. I believe in team spirit and I love team building. I can work with a team. I can work as a personal assistant and I can also work as an in - house designer. I love positions created to allow growth for all parties in a team. I am open to opportunities and am available for travel. I treat every conversation as an interview, I am active on professional social platforms{LinkedIn, Angel, The - DOTS and now Creativepool}. I have attended and participated in Maker Faire Africa, SoTNE, Africast, Zuma Film Festival and The BIG Start Dubai. I love supporting startups and I'm somewhat emerging as a go-to guy in creating offline social events aimed at supporting startups in early stage in Africa. My one most top creative goal is to become a film maker. I think in visuals and aesthetics and can work under pressure.
When I not doing all of the above - I'm mostly creating accessories and taking charge of my career goals.
