Gideon Bernard

I am a social innovator working at the intersection of youth development, gender equity and creative technology. My work focuses on designing and delivering programmes that connect cultural heritage with modern tools, including digitisation, NFTs, fabric printing and stencil design. I develop learning experiences that build essential skills, expand opportunities for young people and support communities to express identity in new and meaningful ways.

Co-founder of The LENSED Initiative, an inclusive organisation driving equity, inclusive, and economic development for youth, especially girls, in rural communities in Nigeria.
