Describe Yourself.
Organised chaos because I love so many things and creating balance to meet perfection
Inspiration behind Unconventional Design Approach
I would say it is the urge to be different and staying true to my vision as an African artist.
On Meeting Clients
I have never really thought about this, but I am guessing through referrals, social media platforms or experiencing a project
On Design Approach
Our design approach has always been designing for less through upcycling….
On Material Sources
We are proudly made in Nigeria, so we source 95% locally.
On Design Style
We are eco designers, and our design style is greatly influenced by our clients’ imaginations. Our job is to bring it to reality.
To Young Aspiring Designers
My advice is to identify a strength and capitalise on it. We can’t all be contemporary artists.
Interior Design Forecast?
Afrocentric design is already back, so I see more African-inspired places with more personality.
Challenges with Contractors?
Timelines…… definitely timelines, but overall, I think we are doing great …
Dealing with Local Production?
Well, I will say the issues we face daily bring out the best in us, so I enjoy dealing with S.ea.home as a manufacturing company.
Number of Celebrity Home Projects?
Hmmm, maybe 3. I was on the Burna boys project, Timaya, Rema and a few others like Timi Dakolo’s studio, Melrose loft by iamdodos, etc
Best Project so Far?
The best is yet to come, but I enjoyed SEE Lagos, Timayas House, and the boutique hotel called S.EA.experience. The reason is that we had creative freedom to design.
