About · Lagos, working remote worldwide
Also known as Maestro Brendon. Full name Brendon Imudiase Ideba-Oleghe.
A multidisciplinary visual designer who treats brand, graphics, motion and the web as one system, not four.
Brendon Oleghe, known as Maestro Brendon, is a senior brand and graphics designer with 7+ years leading design across fintech, Web3, fashion, e-commerce and real estate. In that time he has helped build 80+ brands, from the first identity sketch to the campaigns, decks and packaging that carry them into market.
He doesn't stop at the mockup. Most of the live sites on this portfolio were designed and then built by him in Next.js, GSAP and Claude Code, so what gets approved is what actually ships.
Logo systems, type, colour and the guidelines that keep a brand consistent as it scales. 80+ brands across fintech, Web3, fashion and real estate.
Launch campaigns, social, pitch decks, packaging and print. Produced at a senior standard, fast, and always on brand.
Motion systems, launch films, mascots and micro-interactions that make a brand feel alive wherever it shows up.
Websites and product UI, prototyped and shipped in Next.js, GSAP and Claude Code, so the idea survives the handoff.
