We had the good fortune of connecting with Olamide Laosebikan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Olamide, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
It’s so many important decisions I made that put me where I am today. The ones that stood out the most would be being persistent and resilient. Success is rarely immediate. You have to do the work and to face the challenges that comes with it and the ability to persevere through challenges, setbacks, and failures is crucial. Learning from setbacks and bouncing back with determination is a vital trait.

Another decision was surrounding myself with the right people; building a supportive network of mentors, collaborators and other creatives like me that can provide guidance, inspiration, and valuable connections.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a jack of all trades creative that portray my client’s story through the art of Digital Media: Photography, Videography and Graphics Designs. Creativity and versatility are my key ingredients that makes me stand out from other creatives. I feel like what sets creators apart is our creativity but it also becomes something more powerful when bringing our ideas and executing them together. I possess an impressive portfolio which includes collaborations with universities, travel agencies, brands and your favorite celebrities. It also displays weddings and recent developed creative projects. What I am most proud of is building a relationship with my clients. I create an environment where clients can be comfortable and have fun during our creative sessions.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am from New York. We have so many Unique and fun locations to go to in New York. It’s difficult having a favorite to choose from. We have spots mainly in Manhattan (the city), Harlem, Brooklyn and Queens.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There’s so many people that contributed to my success but the main person behind it all is my God. I would not be here today or be where I am without him so I owe it all to him.

I would also like to shout out my team @theFifthMedia; My mentor JR (@jrtkproductions) for the teaching moments and expanding my creative vision alongside my friend Brennan (@bfproductions_).

Lastly, My support system. This includes my friends, family, frat brothers and to those who believed in me. Thank you for the referrals and recommendations.
