Minds
Across Nigeria and much of Africa, creative young people are full of potential—but often lack access to the kind of design education that leads to real opportunities.
Design is one of the most in-demand skills in today's global economy, but it's rarely taught in a way that's practical, industry-relevant, and impactful.
Starok was created to change that...
Starok is a practical design school where students solve real-world problems through hands-on projects, guided by industry mentors.
Starok's mission is to train the next generation of designers through practical, mentor-led education that connects learning directly to meaningful work.
To become the leading space for creative education across Nigeria, proving that talent from this region can compete, lead, and set new standards on the global stage.
We train young creatives in the skills that the world needs now: brand design, product design (UX/UI) and the new frontier — AI and creative coding. Students don't just learn how to design. They learn how to build systems, solve real problems, and create work that's ready for the future of the industry.

Students explore problems, design solutions, and improve them through feedback, testing, and collaboration. Here’s how we do it
Real-World Projects
Every student works on live briefs from real businesses, brands, and communities.
Mentorship From Working Designers
Learning is guided by creative professionals who offer feedback, critique, and support.
Studio Culture
Our learning space feels like a design studio—not a lecture hall. It's dynamic, collaborative, and fast-paced.
Career Focus
We teach global standards with deep understanding of local context and opportunities.
Behind every great designer is a mentor who believed in them. At Starok, you'll learn from creatives shaping the industry, ready to pass on what they know and fuel your success.
