About Us | CreativeHub - Graphic Design Courses in Nigeria

Our Creative Journey

CreativeHub was born in 2015 when three passionate Nigerian designers – Oluwaseun Adeyemi, Chioma Nwosu, and Emmanuel Okafor – recognized a significant gap in Nigeria's design education landscape. Despite the country's rich artistic heritage and growing digital economy, there were few institutions offering world-class graphic design training tailored to the Nigerian context.

Starting with just one classroom in Lagos and 15 students, we've grown to become Nigeria's leading graphic design academy with three campuses across the country. Our commitment to excellence has remained unchanged – we combine international design standards with authentic Nigerian cultural perspectives to empower the next generation of African creative professionals.

Over the years, we've evolved our curriculum to embrace emerging technologies and design trends while maintaining our focus on fundamental design principles. Today, CreativeHub serves over 500 students annually through our various programs and has graduated more than 1,500 designers who are making their mark in agencies, corporations, and entrepreneurial ventures across Africa and beyond.
