Everything you see in the pictures, from the dresses to the shoes, the leather goods, the masks, and the jewelry, was designed by me from scratch, starting with pen and paper.
I believe there's something special about drawing by hand rather than digitizing everything.
Additionally, I directed the entire manufacturing process, researching the best factories and personally overseeing the production to ensure each piece was made as envisioned.
I truly believe in the power of being a true multidisciplinary designer/artist, which to me means spending countless hours perfecting my craft. I know how to design digital products and physical products alike. I understand patterns, materials, colors, textures... And the most fascinating thing is that I feel like I don't know much—even if it sounds cliché. I'm here to learn and to share what I've learned.
Since starting my design journey in 2004, I've never lost my passion for creating.
I'm African, raised in Europe, and I love the blend of architecture, African maximalism, and Nordic minimalism. I hope you can see this unique fusion in my designs.
Outcome:
1—3X NYFW appearences
2—The designs appeared in major magazines like: Vogue, Elle, WWD, LA Times, and more.
3—First client: Beyoncé
