He is the founder of the Lagos based clothing brand, Todun Akin Clothing (T.A.C). He started his brand in 2017 at the age of 15 in Lagos, Nigeria, and it was a great success in the Nigerian urban market. In 2018 he was opportuned to meet the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and presented him with a custom-made TAC t-shirt. A year later another great opportunity enabled him to meet the former governor-general of Canada, Michaëlle Jean and also presented her with a custom-made TAC t-shirt.

During the first Covid lockdown in March 2020, He capitalized on this time to develop himself and focus on evolving into a more determined and driven creative. His vision is to inspire and help people achieve their dreams and become better versions of themselves. One of the ways he does this is through his motivational videos on his Instagram platform, where he talks about various topics ranging from his Christian faith to life lessons he has learnt on his journey as a designer.

Todun is in his first year at Ryerson University, studying Fashion and Business. He is expanding his knowledge on the industry in order to apply it to his brand. He recently started creating and selling his abstract paintings. The passion for this arose from his IB visual art classes which he took in high school.
