Some moments carry your whole journey inside them, Today was one of those moments!
I’m currently working on a documentary for
@ekohotels at 50 with my father Editi Effiong, and we were scheduled to meet His Excellency, Governor Sanwoolu
@lagosstategovt @creative_lagos
In March 2021 the Governor paid my tuition at EbonyLife Creative Academy. I came in with nothing but vision and left as the Best Production Designer of the first intake.
Today, I stood before him again, Grateful! I didn’t come empty-handed thank you to my brother
@theinstallbrand for helping me put something together.
In that same room, so unexpectedly I saw The Queen!
@moabudu
Two people God used to shape my journey now in one space, and I’m standing I stayed when the jobs were free, I stayed when I didn’t know what I was doing, I stayed learning, failing, watching, growing, building.
For the past five years, I’ve been building THLPHBT Designs Limited a production design company working across film, TV, commercials, and more.
Projects include: Flawsome on
@showmaxnaija The Men’s Club & Thicker Than Water on
@primevideonaija Halima’s Choice for
@naijaonnetflix and
@unesco Merry Men, The Waiter, The Stand Up, All or Nothing, and recently Black Book: Old Scores with
@anaklefilms & Nicky Winstock, continuing the legacy of great dad Pat Nebo
We’ve also worked with brands like Milo and Coke Studio, while building and employing over 100 creatives and artisans.
From that same vision by the grace of God I have built;
@_mad_es handles event and stage designs (Alakada Reloaded premiere, Calypso Relaunch, Fantastic Four premiere),
@bigtures_ focuses on space design, furniture, and fabrication,
@propsstore.ng supports film and TV productions with props.
I also founded
@logosandheart a faith-based art exhibition platform for creatives.
I cannot tell this story without the people God used:
@ojiemekhin1 @_demii.lade
My father
@editieffiong @ni_wavi (who held my hands to draw in class 😂 she is so sweet) Daddy Pat Nebo (your legacy lives on).
@peekaboomg for trusting me first,
@yolandaokereke and
@miseducationofmimi my mummies, I’m such a racal
My family of faith (
@egfmfountain &
@nlwclife )
