Wale Oyejide

“Among other things, Walé Oyéjidé, Esq. is a Creative Director/Designer with a finely honed aes- thetic and a history of producing campaigns that marry vivid imagery with compelling storytelling. His work threads the needle between the cultural and the contemporary, and seeks to reflect the authentic experiences of persons that are commonly overlooked in commercial media. At the core of his work is the notion that elegance is not owned by any particular culture, or by any corner of the world.

Mr. Oyéjidé’s design work is part of the “Making Africa” contemporary design exhibit, which was at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany and at the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain. He was also featured in the “Creative Africa” exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His work has also exhibited at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. He has been invited to lecture about his work in Brazil, Ecuador and France. His designs for Ikiré Jones also appeared as part of the “Generation Africa” fashion show at Pitti Uomo 89 in Florence, Italy.
