Why I started @made_of_white. To bring clarity.
Design is one of the most misunderstood disciplines of our time.
As tools became accessible and visual trends became commodities, design was reduced to its surface: screens, rectangles, animations and polish.
Its deeper purpose was obscured.
At Made of White, we know design is not decoration.
It is the intentional shaping of systems, behaviours, experiences, products, services, narratives and futures.
It is analytical and creative, rational and emotional, strategic and human.
We recently designed the identity for NGNb (@ngnbtoken), a tokenised naira.
We studied pre-colonial African currency systems, where a cowrie only became money once it was pierced.
The result: two dots. One solid, one pierced. Naira and NGNb.
A few snippets. More soon.

The Geist Serif font came just in time.
Recently used it for @michael_adeyeri’s website, and it’s actually pretty good.

I made a digital fidget spinner using Vortex Math; a mathematical concept associated with Nikola Tesla that, when plotted on a circle, creates these intricate, mesmerizing patterns. Some call it “the key to the universe.”
I came across the concept in a random YouTube video and thought it would be fun to turn it into an app.
So I did.
