In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

PD is the practice of innovation & taking ideas from concept to finished product, with branding, storytelling, extensive research skills and interpret the found data. Before that, studying Fine Art in high school made me realize how much I enjoyed drawing still life, birds and floral subjects from which I began to develop different ways of representing them abstractly. During my A-levels, I fell in love with Textures, patterns, photography and,bright eye-catching colors.I started Ature in 2016, a design and consulting firm that offers branding and Product Design services. At Ature, we believe in growing the creative industry in African countries, hence aturecreatives.com; an online editorial to educate the growing creative. I occasionally curate on my instagram ( @bev_ola) self portraits and photography projects.
