Born and raised in Portland, Seyi is a talented artist in many fields.
He first realized his artistic talent at a young age by sketching,
then advanced to clay-mation at Portland's Saturday Academy. Nowadays
you can find Seyi designing anything that crosses his mind, from
t-shirts, shoes, logos, to furniture, and he still finds time to make
beats on the side under the name Sammy Sosa. His inspiration is
ever-changing, spanning from the streets of his homeland to music,
BMX, and traveling.

For the past few years I have been moving around quite a bit, as a
reflection of that, this Chaboo is portable fold it up and take it
with you.
The idea of collaborating on projects is something that really appeals
to me. I often find the best work I have done has been created while
working alongside like-minded people. When I came across the Chaboo
project I was way interested in learning a bit more. The next thing I
know I am working up designs for my very own. This was a great
learning experience, I feel very fortunate to be involved.
