Derek Yeboah
Assistant Producer/Editor
Tobi Karunwi
I’ve always wanted job where I could express my artistic flair. I started off my journey at OH as an intern without any experience or knowledge about the media industry in general. With time and chance I was fortunate enough to be given my first breakthrough as the assistant set designer for one of the shows on OHTV- Its All Good, due to my artistic abilities. I then went on to become the set designer for another flagship show called Afrika Rising as well as the OHNEWS. After a while working in the OH STUDIO department, the management took me under their wing teaching me new skills after which I became a camera operator on the latest flagship show – REAL TALK. Now, I’m a graphics designer, set designer and studio camera operator.
