Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria

Thrilled to have worked with the talented team at Align Studios on a vibrant, fast-paced animated project centered around the bustling streets of Lagos, Nigeria. As the 3D Artist, I was responsible for modeling, texturing, and look development of stylized vehicles and urban environments that reflect the unique energy and character of Lagos. From danfos and kekes to traffic-packed expressways, the project blended cultural authenticity with animation-driven storytelling. This project challenged me to strike a balance between stylization and realism, ensuring that each asset felt grounded in the local context while being expressive and animation-ready. Collaborating across departments—animation, lighting, and compositing—was key to bringing this dynamic world to life. Grateful to have contributed to a project that celebrates African urban culture through animation.
