PATRICK CHUKA

A BOOKPRJECT BY CHU

Chu is a Nigerian-American creative and technologist building meaningful experiences from Los Angeles.

I left Lagos at 17 with nothing but talent and determination. Nine years later, I’ve built an artistic practice featured in BBC, exhibited internationally, and lead AI systems engineering at a marketing technology company.

Art taught me patience. Code taught me scale. Both taught me that the best work happens when you refuse to choose between beauty and function.

AfroPhilia
Afrophilia-X: The Scapegoat That Grew Wings blends ballpoint pen
portraiture with autobiographical fiction, exploring African identity,
exile, and transformation. It took five years to create.
