The Wild ones XYZ
April 2025 - May 2025
Collaborated with The Wild Ones XYZ to Illustrate the front-and-back visuals for Puff Puff Pass, an upcoming card game made for social smokers. The project adopted a psychedelic-inspired aesthetic, emphasising bright, glossy colours, shifting hues, and a reflective design style that captured the game’s playful, high-energy mood. My role included creating illustrations for the special cards, designing the back of the deck, and developing unique designs for the suits, all tailored to the game’s distinctive look and feel.

Worked part-time with RCCG Tabernacle of Mercy and its Youth & Young Adults ministry (T.O.M.Y.A.Y.A.) to create digital and print graphics for church programs, events, and community outreach. My role involved designing flyers, banners, and social media visuals that aligned with the church’s visual identity while keeping the layouts modern, vibrant, and engaging for younger audiences.

Art commissions (2021 - CURRENT)
Welcome to the page of Ayanfe “Hero” Williams, an illustrator and graphic designer based in Nigeria and a sociology graduate from the University of Lagos.His artistic journey began with a flash of inspiration and a challenge: the belief that he could recreate the storytime animation videos he loved back in 2018. Spoiler — it wasn’t as easy as he thought. But that difficulty ignited a spark in him, shaping his love and passion for art, design and creativity.When he's not drawing, you could find him playing his guitar or redecorating his space for the 100th time.Got a job opportunity, commission, or business inquiry?
