Adesina Media is not only a showcase for my print and web design, but also a collection of media that has inspired my work. In trying to keep an accurate representation of all that I have stumbled upon over the years, this site will frequently feature a seemingly random assortment of sights, sounds, images, and ideas.
The name Adesina is Yoruban for “The way is opened for more.” With my work, I strive to open the doors, the paths, and even the flood gates between design and technology. If they were the unrequited loves of our time, then I would be the matchmaker trying to bring their relationship into the light of day. Adesina Media continues to celebrate the marriage of design and technology, but with a distinct sense of humor and a dedication to best practices in new media.
Because man doesn’t live on work alone, I’ve decided to combine my musings from the kitchen and the darkroom into my more traditional portfolio presentation. I don’t ever think that we designers are one-note sambas in our work, and as such, I wanted to paint the full picture on Adesina Media. I heart pixels, bokeh and kosher salt in equal measures.
The Photography section is broken down into several galleries, most focused on my two favorite subjects – photo merges and flower macros. In the Kitchen, you’ll find the recipes and compositions that make up Adesina’s Cook-a-long. All the offerings are social, friendly, and meant to be shared with those you love. As such, you’ll find vegetarian and vegan alternatives for the carnivorous (ha!) offerings.

Grilled Lemongrass Beef
From chocolate covered pretzels to a salt-rimmed margarita, our palettes all crave the goodness that is sweet and salty. This recipe tackles all the taste points, with a fair share of sweet, salty and tart. I slather this simple marinade on beef and grill until charred on the outside and juicy pink on the inside, but you can certainly use it on pork or chicken as well.

End of Fall
We’re just about to Spring forward and kiss the cold weather months goodbye, and despite my staunch vote for summer being the best of months, I can’t help thinking of Autumn’s past and some of my favorite pictures from the season. These are all from Douglas Park, a short walk from the house that I [...]
