About the Founder
CreativOp was founded by Eugene Afful, a creative entrepreneur and digital media strategist committed to bridging the information gap for African creatives. With over a decade of combined experience in media production, brand communication, and creative industry development, Eugene has built his career helping brands, creatives, and organizations tell their stories beautifully and effectively.
As the founder of Creatr Haus, he has led video, photography, design, and digital campaigns for various clients across Africa and beyond. Through CreativOp, Eugene channels that expertise into something bigger: a platform that curates grants, funding, jobs, events, news, and opportunities that help creatives thrive.
His work is grounded in a simple passion – empowering the African creative community with the visibility, access, and support they deserve.

Why CreativOp Exists

CreativOp was created to solve that problem-making opportunities visible, shareable, searchable, and accessible to every creative, regardless of background or location.
