Visualising is how i make
sense of complexity.
Iré Oyekan
I use illustration and visual art to translate intangible feelings into form, making space to reflect, process, and understand what often goes unnamed.
Endlessly curious about the inner lives of human beings, I explore how emotions can be understood and harnessed rather than simply endured, allowing them to become sources of growth, insight, and connection.
My background in product and experience design continues to inform my practice. The design methods I honed early in my career shape how I approach problem-solving, research, and the conceptual foundations of my work.
