David Adamu
Product Designer
Lagos, NigeriaI'm concerned with the everyday application of design, from the moment you wake up and hit that alarm, to having breakfast with those sleek utensils, and even commuting & interacting with humans in your daily ordeal. Yes, our world is made of products, and it is our heritage as designers to create beautifully designed products, building awesome user experiences to better the lives of humans. As we embark on this journey, we MUST constantly look for the nasty little things that are broken in our lives, and 'hack' together products that fix them.
This is the purpose for which I exist.

WeAce
Founder & Creative Director
WeAce was my first attempt at starting a startup. WeAce was founded on the idea that, the major difference between developed and underdeveloped entities (cities & business) is 'branding'. As you commute through these cities through vast troves of advertising campaigns and wayfinding systems; interacting with small & medium businesses and getting a hang of consumers' perception towards design and seeing how culture influences design - It becomes apparent that the way products are sold and communicated to the population largely differs. WeAce aimed to close the gap between these entities by creating world-class identities for brands and seeking newer ways with which people could be engaged qualitatively.
In the lifetime of the agency, we were able to work with a few clients like Softcom NG, Homescapes, African Leadership Development Centre & Melting Moments.
The name 'WeAce' was inspired by 'We' striving to 'Ace Brands'.
