ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ndubisi graduated from College for Creative Studies in Detroit with a B.F.A. in Advertising Design.
Before graduating, he began working as an Art Director for many advertising agencies in Detroit. His client roster includes General Motors, Chevrolet, and Chrysler. Before accepting his first role in the industry, Ndubisi began working independently as a multidisciplinary creative. Since then, he’s been simultaneously specializing in vibrant mural painting, custom hand lettering, and thought-provoking illustrations. These clients include Universal Music Group, Pepsi, Netflix, Warner Bros, Adobe, and HGTV. He continues to find ways to blend and excel in every design discipline he chooses.
ABOUT THE MURAL
“The mural is a celebration of the city of Ann Arbor, MI. The colors, patterns, and vibrancy are intended to bring a sense of joy and wonder to the viewers. I hope that it inspires others to do something dope today!”
“I am a multidisciplinary creative with a passion for art and design that tells a story. Specializing in illustration, murals, and design, I want to create unique stories to motivate, represent, and inspire people, especially those throughout the African Diaspora.
— Ndubisi Okoye
The combinations of hand-lettering, geometric shapes, vibrant color palettes, and tribal patterns create an improvised rhythm throughout my work to uplift and motivate the viewer. I draw inspiration from many areas, including anime, history, poetry, and graphic design. I hope to create art that reflects my faith in God in the presence of indifference and call attention to political issues. Through all of these sources of inspiration, I want to show the power, beauty, and complexity of blackness.”
