Bio

Hello! My name is Oni, a Nigerian American undergraduate at Sam Houston State University, working towards a BFA in graphic design. Although I completed high school with an associate’s degree, an accomplishment achieved through discipline, determination, and a refusal to allow circumstances dictate my life. Art and design is my voice. It allows me to express who I am, what I feel, and what I have experienced through visual representations that go beyond what is apparent on the surface. As I pursue design, I strive to marry creativity with purpose and art with impact. As a low-income student, I face issues financially, but that does not dampen my ambition. Scholarships allow me to spread my wings and reach out further. My objective is to leverage design as both a profession and a platform as a means of opening doors, and creating representation and meaning, not only for me but for others seeking their voice as well.
