We do this by covering and discussing issues spanning self-discovery, mental health (anxiety, burnout, mindfulness), career progression, creativity, relationships, financial literacy, self-development, and more.

JIJI UGBOMA
Founder and Creative Director
Hi, I’m Jiji, and I’m the founder and creative director of Clever-ish Magazine! I started Clever-ish Magazine because of my love for creativity and self-expression, and it’s been a long time coming! I was born in Nigeria and lived there for most of my life. Many years ago, I packed my bags and moved to the United States. During my time in the US, I went to business school and got my MBA, I also worked in research, non-profit, and online marketing all while nursing my desire to be a full-time writer. Some years ago, I moved to Madrid where I started to pursue my dream as a writer and creative. Three years later, I packed up yet again and moved to New York! My cross-continental experiences have definitely played a huge role in the person I am today. I’ve developed a subtle third-culture identity and growth in self-awareness that has fed into my desire to be creative.
Clever-ish Magazine is the seamless merging of my skill-set and my pain point. I am a writer and entrepreneur and I’m also a millennial perpetually going through a quarter-life crisis. I hope Clever-ish is as much a source of inspiration as it is to me and that our content light a fire in you as you go after your dreams!
