Metamorphosis - It’s Africa’s Time to Shine

Kofi Ofosu is a self-taught freelance character designer and visual story teller from Ghana. His fascination with comic books and cartoons as a child led to a love affair with the art form that eventually inspired his decision to become a working professional in the art industry.

Instead of the usual route through art school, pressured by his parents to complete a business science degree at university, he had to forge his own path learning the trade via YouTube tutorials and Online Courses all while completing his bachelors degree.     

Through sheer drive and a yearning to fulfil his highest potential, Kofi is now an authority in his field. He works on global contracts for the likes of DreamWorks Animation and Netflix, hosts his own podcast, Fiko’s Corner and actively engages with his strong  online following to inspire a new generation of African artists and creatives. 

This episode touches on Kofi’s journey, his philosophy in life and what it takes to be a creative in the 21st Century, but it is also an exploration into the time we live in and the huge potential contained within the continent of Africa.
