Also known simply as Fá, Victor started out as a graphic designer in 2011 and followed the path of purpose as he sought to help clients achieve more while creating a platform for other designers on campus to grow, a journey eventually leading to co-founding FourthCanvas in 2015 with his uni roommate who naturally brought structure to his creative leaning.

Powered by insights from this experience, he continues to advise startup founders, mentor designers, and also recently co-founded Fullgap, a digital tool borne out of an attempt to automate the client onboarding process at FourthCanvas. In 2023, this earned him The Future Awards Prize for Technology, followed by an induction to the Ife Kingdom by The Ooni as a recipient of the Royal African Awards in 2024. He continues to rediscover his own voice while helping other people and businesses create and earn more value.

Bolaji is a respected builder with a deep sense of operations management and system design. With his natural traits for structure honed by several experiences including paramilitary involvements earlier on, Bolaji provided the missing piece to build what has over a decade, become Nigeria’s leading design agency and a prominent name beyond.

He believes strongly that structural excellence is the key to unlock creative potential, and he has proven this as he guided our incredible growth over the years, as well as with Fullgap, the digital tool inspired by automating the admin processes he created and manages here at FourthCanvas.

Bolaji emphasizes self-leadership, collaboration and a relentless pursuit of excellence, values he daily embodies as a leader of leaders.

Mary is a vastly experienced and consistently inspired designer with a portfolio of remarkable work over the past decade. Sauntered into art as a kid from exposure to great music, storytelling, and visual arts through creatively inclined teachers and mentors who went beyond the art, to the heart, Mary believes in the potential of art to influence people and solve problems, and this brings an evidently fresh perspective to her work.

For over 10 years, she has worked as a creative director and collaborated on projects with several notable brands across different sectors, including Urgent Action Africa where she worked with leaders from 5 countries across East Africa; UK-based FoodLama, as well Nigeria’s leading VC firm, Ventures Platform, to name a few.

Mary holds a B.Hons in Fine and Applied Arts (Obafemi Awolowo University) where she majored in painting and minored in graphic design, earning a feature in the prestigious Best of Ife Art Hall of Fame (2015).

Mary is committed to the development of young people honing their skills in design and art, and she has expressed this through participating in countless design trainings, creating a curriculum that has been employed in teaching hundreds of designers across the country, sharing her ideas on major platforms like the Social Media Week Lagos and most recently launching her book on colours — a topic everyone looks up to her for in the Nigerian creative industry.

She speaks English, Yoruba, and Greek, sings so well like she could have made it as a musician, and boasts of daily waking up to the most beautiful smiles in the entire universe — her two kids and husband. We agree.

With an endearing people-first approach to her work over the years, from business to not-for-profit, Oluremi has forged strong relationships and inspired remarkable results. Alongside helping people reach their best capabilities, she makes an example of herself with her work in the rarely explored field of olfactory design in Nigeria, as well as her design of experiences from events to tours and gifting.

While Oluremi’s work today seem a distant deviation from her degree in Computer Science & Engineering from UIST, Ohrid, North Macedonia, it suggests where some of her sense of structure and systems might have been honed.

Oluremi is respected for her great conviction across different dimensions, including faith, and is committed to leadership that can be both firm on high performance and kind in expression, bringing this on board daily she ensures that our people at FourthCanvas are supported and overall productivity is enhanced.

Wilfred is a brand strategist who combines analytical thinking with creative depth to influence ideas and people. A Certified VisionCamp®️ Graduate (2023) — recognized globally for expertise in vision and visionary leadership — he works closely with visionaries to articulate and amplify the voice of their ideas.

Wilfred's academic background in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Port Harcourt reflects his analytical mindset. While still in university, he discovered his passion for strategy through graphic design, which became his entry point into solving business challenges. Co-founding a startup with friends on campus, he developed a knack for analyzing ideas and connecting dots. His love for research reports further deepened his data-driven approach, forming the foundation of the fast-thinking, pragmatic work ethic that defines him today.

Wilfred’s impact is best exemplified by his work with Pesa, a cross-border payment startup that has now processed over $250 million in transactions, where he led the brand’s repositioning strategy. As a Senior Strategist at FourthCanvas, Wilfred has brought this same level of insight and impact to other projects across sectors, including Venture Capital, Financial Technology, FMCG, among others.

Outside work, Wilfred’s passion for film — particularly anything involving Christopher Nolan, Baran bo Odar, or Mike Flanagan — reflects the same attention to layered storytelling and detail he applies to his work. His friendly, approachable personality might surprise those expecting the stereotypical demeanor of an academically driven strategist, but it’s this rare blend of warmth and intellect that makes his work unforgettable.

In an unlikely but inspiring evolution from interest to purpose, Timilehin has grown over the years from starting out as a graphic designer here at FourthCanvas to balancing strategic foresight with operational excellence as our Finance Lead.

Currently a doctoral student at the Metallurgy Engineering department of University of Johannesburg, South Africa where he does research on application of machine learning to the optimization and synthesis of new engineering materials, he connects the dots with finding patterns and actionable insights in financial data outside the walls, building upon his earlier study of Finance and Financial Management at Corporate Finance Institute Vancouver, Canada.

Timi is passionate and driven about growth — committed to professional development, continuous learning, and empowering others within the organization.

You genuinely can’t tell what Timi does alone in his quiet time but he surely gets a lot of them, and consistently emerges with a precision with which he makes an example of process excellence for everyone at FourthCanvas.
