We recently had the chance to connect with Godswill Muofhe and have shared our conversation below.
Godswill, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
I lose track of time when I’m working. When an idea starts as a sketch or a sentence and turns into something real you can wear, watch, or experience. That moment when vision meets execution, whether it’s on a T-shirt, a website, or a campaign, that’s where time disappears. It’s the same space where me and the team find ourselves again.
It reminds us why we started Citizens of the Internet in the first place: to build something bigger than ourselves, to shape culture through design, and to prove that great ideas can come from anywhere. When we’re in that flow, everything else fades and what’s left is purpose.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Godswill Muofhe, and I’m the founder of Citizens of the Internet, a Houston-based design and production company built on grit, collaboration, design, and more grit. We work with brands, creators, and entrepreneurs to bring bold ideas to life through custom merchandise printing, media production, graphic design, web design, and marketing solutions.
What makes Citizens of the Internet special is that we’re not just a service company, we’re a movement. We’re creating a space where creativity meets community, where artists and entrepreneurs can build something that actually represents them.
Right now, we’re in the middle of expanding our Be Someone 713 campaign. A project that celebrates Houston’s culture, encourages people to take pride in where they’re from, and to strive to become more. Beyond that, we’re building the foundation for a long-term creative ecosystem. A space where the next generation of designers, filmmakers, and digital builders can find their place, their people, and their purpose.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
My relationship with God shaped everything about how I see myself. The world is quick to judge and people will write you off before you’ve even had a chance to show them who you are. Some will see the light in you before you recognize it yourself and try to snuff it out before it becomes a fire. But my faith has always been my backbone.
When people told me I couldn’t do something, I never believed them, because my Father in heaven said otherwise. Scripture reminds me that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains and I’ve carried that truth through every setback, every doubt, every moment of silence. My relationship with God taught me that I’m not defined by what people say about me, but by what He placed inside me. That fire keeps me grounded, focused, and unafraid to build what He’s called me to build.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I’d tell my younger self: never be afraid to fight for what’s right, even when you’re scared, even when the odds are stacked against you, even when you feel low or tired. The hardest battles are often the ones that build your strength and reveal your purpose.
There were times when it felt like everything was against me, but God was always with me. That’s why my mother named me God’s will. I’d remind myself that fear is temporary, but faith lasts forever. Keep your heart pure, your hands working, and your eyes on Him because every struggle is preparing you for something greater.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, what you see is what you get. I don’t have the time or desire to be fake or disingenuous.
Life’s too short for all that, and there are way more interesting things I’d rather be doing than trying to lead a double life, things like printing a new design, filming a movie, or building something meaningful.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say I was a fun guy to be around. Life can be heavy, and sometimes a good joke or a smile can remind someone that things will be okay.
If people remember me for bringing light into the room through laughter, through creativity, or just through the way I treated them then I’ll know I lived well. The work matters, but the love you leave behind matters more.
