My name is Oghenemine Deniran but you can call me Mine. Design is how I explore ideas, translate emotion, and give structure to meaning.

Background
I began my professional journey in the advertising industry, where I spent four years developing a strong foundation in concept-driven design and visual storytelling. During that time, I worked as Lead Art Director on brands like Martell and Jameson, and contributed to campaigns for DStv SuperSport, Big Brother Naija, Africa Magic, and Chivas. The fast-paced nature of advertising taught me how to think quickly, collaborate deeply, and create work that connects with culture.
The Shift to Tech
Curiosity eventually pulled me beyond campaigns and into products. I transitioned into the tech space as a Brand Designer at Interswitch. This shift changed how I approach design. In tech, clarity, systems, and consistency matter as much as aesthetics. It pushed me to think long term about scalability, usability, and how brands live across
products, platforms, and everyday interactions.
Current Focus
Today, my work sits at the intersection of brand, systems, and experimentation. I enjoy building cohesive brand identities, exploring motion and visual systems, and pushing ideas beyond static design. I'm particularly fascinated by 3D and animation the way form,depth, and movement can create emotion and immersion.
Outside of work, I'm a big fan of gaming. Majorly adventure, sci-fi films, and movie soundtracks. Those worlds heavily influence how I think about atmosphere, narrative, and experience elements I naturally bring back into my design process.
