My name is Esther Benson, and I am a creative enthusiast from Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. As a proud Annang woman from Akwa Ibom, I am deeply rooted in my cultural heritage, which continues to inspire and influence my life's work.
I'm a creative at heart, and I believe my hands are gifted. I find joy in bringing new ideas to life and being surrounded by nature's beauty. My passions include photography, crochet, and fashion, creative outlets that allow me to express myself and showcase my imagination.
I attended Federal Government College, Ikot Ekpene, and the University of Uyo, where I earned a degree in Law. I'm also a certified Mediator with the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC), Nigeria.
As a legal practitioner and mediator, I am working towards making a positive impact in my community.
As I continue to grow in my legal career, I intend to specialize in Business and Maritime Law, areas that align with my passion for commerce and international trade. However, having witnessed the often-protracted nature of litigation, I became motivated to explore alternative dispute resolution methods. This led me to pursue a course in mediation, which enables parties to resolve disputes amicably and efficiently outside of the courtroom, preserving relationships and promoting mutually beneficial outcomes. By combining my legal expertise with mediation skills, I aim to provide comprehensive and effective solutions for my clients.
In my personal life, I strive to deepen my faith and relationship with God by having a constant and consistent devotion with Him because as image-bearers of God, we're endowed with His creative essence, inspiring us to craft, innovate, and bring new life to the world.
As a creative enthusiast, I find solace in various artistic expressions. Two of my favorite hobbies are crochet and photography. These outlets allow me to unwind, tap into my imagination, and bring new ideas to life.
Crochet, in particular, has become an integral part of my self-care routine. I love the tactile experience of working with yarn, watching a ball of thread transform into a beautiful, functional piece. From intricate lace patterns to vibrant, colorful blankets, I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and designs. Crochet has taught me patience, persistence, and the value of creating something with my own hands.
Photography, on the other hand, allows me to capture the beauty of the world around me. I'm fascinated by the way light, texture, and composition come together to tell a story. Whether I'm shooting landscapes, portraits, or still-life images, I aim to reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary. Photography has helped me develop an eye for detail, appreciate the fleeting moments of life, and preserve memories that might otherwise fade with time.
Through both crochet and photography, I've discovered the joy of creating something from scratch, of bringing my ideas to life, and of sharing my vision with others. These passions remind me of the beauty, wonder, and magic that surround us, and inspire me to continue exploring, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of my creativity.
Conclusively, I'm a creative, compassionate lawyer, mediator, and entrepreneur dedicated to making a positive impact, advocating for justice, and showcasing God's creation through art.
