Nigerian born. British bred. Bat shit crazy by most accounts.

I'm Lánre, and if I had to sum myself up in three words it'd be ambitious, passionate, relentless. That combination has taken me from a kid from East Leeds wondering if creativity could ever be a career, to managing the global brand operating system for one of the world's largest banks.
‍
By day I'm a brand designer / design manager at HSBC, working with staff and suppliers across the globe to make sure HSBC shows up as the world class brand it is. By night I'm building websites for impact led clients and chasing the next idea. It's just how I'm wired.

But the thing I care about most is The Junior. I co-founded it because I came up through D&AD Shift and know first hand what it means to need a way in. The most exciting creative minds in the world are still on the outside looking in and I've made it my mission to change that. A creative industry that truly reflects the world it speaks to isn't just a nice idea, it's where we're headed.

I just want to help get us there faster.
