about
enemaku is a small studio using colourful illustration, identity design and creative direction to make magic with brands✨
Grace Enemaku is an award-winning, Irish-Nigerian, multidisciplinary illustrator. She is also co-founder of DesignOpp, an IDI initiative that champions diversity for People of Colour in the Irish design and creative industry.
Surreal iconography, sparkles and vibrant colours saturate her work and she takes inspiration from the nostalgia of her 90s childhood immersed in sticker books and anime. Her projects vary from conceptual brand identities for new businesses, to print and illustration for brands and agencies. Select clients include Guinness, Cadburys, Facebook/Meta, The Science Gallery, Gill Books and more.
She recently launched a YouTube channel documenting her life as a creative in Dublin. Her first illustrated children's book I Believe In You by Deborah Somorin was published by Gill Books last year. She won a 100 Archive Award in 2020 and has exhibited with Hen's Teeth and Where Are The Black Designers.
