Anu Abati - Independent designer based in Lagos, NG.

Over the past 3+ years, I've designed brand identities and developed visual systems that scale across digital marketing, out-of-home advertisement, event experiences, and merchandise—collaborating with brands in food & drink, event production & curation, architecture, lifestyle, and entertainment, to create impactful, cohesive and delightful brand experiences.


Previously, I was Creative Operations Manager at MetaCraft Design, where I worked across design, creative operations and project coordination on selected client projects, such as Davido 5ive Tour, Detty December Fest, Afrovibes Africa, and Africa Live Entertainment Conference. Before then, I worked at The Plug Entertainment as a Creative Design Associate, where I handled an assortment of visual design for event campaigns, print, installations, sales decks, working on projects for brands like Blockparty, Spotify, Felabration, Guinness, and GAC Motor.


By way of my education in architecture, I've learnt to appreciate the meaning of creating with intention and structure, and the value of exploration and depth; I've developed a pair of eyes attuned to details, and a mind that carries a great deal of care, which have both come to be immeasurably beneficial.


I'm eternally visually-oriented, so while I'm not satisfying stakeholders through design, I can be found watching a film, drawing, or practicing photography.
