Meet Sydnea Lewis

I’m Sydnea Lewis — a multidisciplinary creative, educator, and entrepreneur committed to living and working with intention.

As a Master Instructor at Howard University, I teach all levels of Digital Design and Creative Business + Entrepreneurship, helping the next generation of artists and entrepreneurs build bold ideas with clarity and purpose. I lead my classroom the same way I run my businesses — with mindfulness, strategy, and heart.

In 2011, I founded Creative Obsessions, a full-service Brand and Marketing Agency specializing in brand development, website design, marketing strategy, and digital creative. Our mission is simple: help people and organizations connect with their audience through meaningful design and strategic clarity. In 2016, I expanded my work with Bamboo Balance, a Yoga and Mindfulness company rooted in holistic well-being and community care.

After years of creative direction behind the screen, I’ve recently returned to painting — not for profit or clients, but as a personal act of rebellion against burnout. My art is abstract and intuitive, focused on color, texture, and process rather than perfection. It’s a space where I can release control and reconnect with joy.

In everything I do — whether I’m designing a brand, teaching a class, painting on canvas, or guiding someone through a mindfulness practice — I aim to weave intentionality, creativity, and care. This work is more than a career. It’s a commitment to showing up fully and creating from a place of alignment.
