About me
I am a dynamic fashion textile designer who gains inspiration from exhibitions, museums and all works of art; which inspires my creativity and print designs. I have an enthusiasm for fashion and design. I produce high quality work and my designs have been recognised in fashion design competitions, exhibitions and photoshoots.
Projects
  • Ounje
    Ounje"Ounje" - (Yoruba) translation: Food Not only is this S/S21 collection fun and colourful but it tells a narrative about two cultures colliding. Living in a melting pot that is London, means that I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet and immerse myself with different cultures. Due to my love of colour, I have been able to create prints that explore negative spacing through its compatible colour palette. Each print displays a different perspective of floral design through its drawing
