Over the last decade, Osione has maintained a vibrant art practice contributing work to exhibitions like Rele’s Opening (2015), McKinsey Meets Art (2016), PPP/NNN (2017), and hFACTOR’s Portraits of Animals.

Osione started his career as a graphic designer and policy-maker, building brands and driving public sector reform for institutions like the World Bank, Adidas, and Persianas Retail (Puma & Lacoste). He is co-founder of homegrown fashion and lifestyle brand, THIS IS US NG, and founding member of creative collective, hFACTOR.

Osione studied Marketing & Economics at Baylor University in Texas, where he honed his painting skills; after which he worked in advertising for DraftFCB on campaigns for brands like Skye Bank, Airtel and Unilever. He then pursued a career in public policy with a Masters from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

Dissatisfied with the slow pace of reform in policy development practice, Osione setup a creative consultancy Light Design Studio to help business leaders and public institutions harness their creativity to drive service delivery. Through Light Design, Osione has led brand-building efforts for ALÁRA, Lagos Fashion Week, ART X, Fuji: A Opera, MasterCard, and the Kwara State Government.
