@me_tce I have no sweet memory of any of my photos in the past.
Prompting this was memorable 😂😂
English
Last year a photographer charged me 150k to take a portrait just like this, got it done with a very simple prompt.
Is it safe to say that AI took his job?

Having solid friends is key.
The first time I saw the Outreachy application, I closed it.
Outreachy is a competitive global internship that pays $7,000 for 3 months, to support underrepresented people in tech & open source.
When I went through the application guide, I felt overwhelmed & told myself,
“I probably won’t get this.”
So I left it.
But my friend didn’t, he applied. Guess what?
He got in. I was so so happy.
Suddenly, this wasn’t “something only online people get.”
It was real. Someone I knew had done it.
But what impacted me most was that he came back to breakdown the process, explain the essays, answer questions, and guide confused applicants.
He guided me too. And I got innnn.
Since then, I’ve also guided a few people close to me.
Recently, after I shared my Outreachy story, I started receiving DMs asking about guidance to navigate the current application.
So this Friday, we will be making it open.
@cvemann and I will be hosting a space to walk you through:
- How to approach the initial application strategically
- How to think about your essays
- Common mistakes to avoid
- What actually matters
Sometimes the only difference between “I can’t” and “I got in”
is guidance and proximity.
Set your reminder and be there 👊

I got the privilege to moderate a panel of amazing tech minds at @Techxciteng last week.
We shared practical insights on AI: how we use it, where it adds value, and how we can keep it safe and human-centred.
If you were there, say hi. I’d love to keep the discussion going.

I had an amazing time at @gdgabuja on November 29th.
I had the opportunity to connect with amazing designers, developers, and industry stakeholders; it was such an inspiring gathering.
Looking forward to applying everything I learned during each of the workshop sessions.

Why Figma Is All You Need to Start Illustrating Most people think Figma is only for UI/UX. But the truth is @figma is one of the most underrated illustration tools out there. Learn it properly, and you can create illustrations that rival those made in Illustrator or any other tool. Here’s why Figma is a cheat code for illustrators: 1. Simple Learning Curve: You focus on shapes, colors, and composition instead of fighting the tool. 2. The Pen Tool: Extremely beginner-friendly, perfect for clean, precise vector art, no intimidation. 3. Non-destructive Workflows: Every shape, curve, and color remains fully editable. 4. Live Smoothing + Snapping = Perfect Curves: Your lines look professional from day one. 5. Unlimited Components & Reusable Assets: Build characters, props, and styles once, reuse them forever. 6. Gradients and Blends: Beautiful, simple, and clean, no complex panels or brushes needed. 7. It’s Lightweight: Minimal lag, no heavy files, no crashes. 8. It’s FREE to Start: The biggest game-changer for beginners. Figma truly has everything you need for stunning vector illustrations. I’ve used it, tested it, pushed it beyond my expectations and I’m still discovering more. If you want to learn vector illustration without feeling overwhelmed, Figma is the safest, most powerful entry point.

It's week 5 of learning illustration with @designwithchike, and it's been an amazing journey🎉
Today, I learned how to add different effects to illustrations, as seen below👇

This week, I learned how to add colour to an illustration and practiced by bringing some of our previous sketches to life with colour.
Thanks to @designwithchike

Just wrapped up another fun task from my illustration class with @designwithchike I recreated this classic character using clean lines, bold shapes, and subtle expression work, focusing on form, attitude, and simplicity. Loving how much I’m growing through each session 🎨

Week two task submitted. It was a bit challenging, but I think I conquered my fears @designwithchike

I led a team and we designed a gamified chore app for family. From strategy to ideation to illustrating 95% of assets (used in the 2 mobile apps) to designing an intuitive product, I poured my heart into this. 💗
Prototype video will be out this week.💗
