Her unique use of Ankara produces exceptional but wearable art pieces, which are contemporary expressions of enduring sophistication. This has made her pieces a roaring success in Nigeria. Her fresh design interpretation and fabric treatment have since begun a new era of unique Ankara designs. Her ‘Ankara and Beads’ collection earned her “The Most Innovative Designer” award in 2009 whilst her ‘Independence’ collection earned her “Emerging Designer of the Year, Africa” in 2010 at the Africa Fashion Week, Johannesburg. In 2011, at the first-ever Arise Magazine Fashion Week, her ‘Love Series’ collection earned her the “Most Creative Designer”.
