I’m Gbemi Olugbenle.
With 7 years of experience as a designer, I’ve developed a strong skill set in brand design and development, product design and strategy, and creative campaigns.
My engineering background shapes the way I work :: I bring structure and strategy into every creative process, ensuring each design is not only visually compelling but also purposeful, research-driven, and effective.
I founded Paintmilk Studio, a design practice dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design by blending creativity with precision. Through this work, I’ve helped brands, businesses, non-profits and religious organizations craft visionary products and experiences that resonate with their audiences.
At my core, I’m always exploring new possibilities in design — whether it’s developing innovative products, rethinking user experiences, or creating systems that connect creativity with impact.
My hobbies include: reading, crocheting, dancing, baking, solving puzzles/board games and visiting museums. I mean with all these hobbies, you can imagine that I’m never “bored”.
gbems is my nickname. Olúwágbémisólá is my full name.
