Lekan is an extraordinary person blessed with an extraordinary eye; who sees what most creative minds don't... the science in the art.

Bolaji Alausa

Lekan is a multidisciplinary creative. I witnessed his foray into spatial, product and general design early on. Through the years, his penchant for design has matched his strategic and ideation skills. Ideas are great no doubt, but if one cares about how they come alive, then Lekan is the one to talk to.
