My story

A few things about me.

Everything changed in 2016, when I gave my life to Christ. My faith is the foundation for everything else: how I work, how I teach, and how I treat people.

I'm married to my wife, Praise, and I'm the only son in my family. I graduated from college in 2012, and I've spent more than ten years as a motion designer since.

In 2019 I founded N Academy, a motion design school I ran for five years until 2024, just before I relocated to Canada. Today I run AddictCreate, a creative studio for branding and motion graphics. Along the way I've taught over 1,500 students, mentored 20+ motion designers, and started Motion with Nas on YouTube.
