Tony B.

Tony is a 24 year old young and individual entrepreneur with more than 4 years of experience in illustration and animation. He started drawing at a very young age. He was initially inspired by "Mangakas", a large Japanese drawing company, and by his father. The latter always urged Tony that his drawings had to contribute in some way to the well-being of the community in order to be worth investing in. In 2016, Tony dropped out of university to focus entirely on his animations. He lived with a friend, where the two of them spent days and nights making illustrations. After a few months, he got a job at an illustration company in Kigali and gained professional experience. In 2020, Tony quit this job and focused entirely on his own business, which offers illustrated and animated content for publishers and private individuals.

He wants to inspire future generations and contribute to the development of education by addressing the modern issues facing Rwanda as a country, Africa as a continent and all of us as human beings right now.
