If you close your eyes and think about your career, what’s the first image you see?
A bright studio filled with laughter and creativity. I see flashes of light, fabric moving, and people working together to create something beautiful. It feels like a dream that somehow became real.
How would you explain the job of a model to a five-year-old?
I’d say, ‘I play dress-up for work! I wear nice clothes, smile for the camera, and help people see how fun fashion can be.’

Is there a piece of clothing you always wear when you need to look your best?
A perfectly fitted blazer, it makes me feel instantly confident and pulled together, no matter what’s underneath.
How do you feel about the use of AI in fashion?
I think it’s exciting when technology helps people be more creative. As long as it’s used respectfully and keeps real people involved, it can open up amazing new possibilities.

Are you a product junkie? Can you take us through your beauty routine?
I tryfavouriteit simple! A gentle cleanser, lots of moisturizer, sunscreen, and a bit of lip balm. At night, I love using a nourishing oil. And of course, drinking water and getting enough sleep are my real beauty secrets.
What’s your least favourite food?
Probably anything too spicy. I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to heat, but my favourite one is fufu.

Do you have any tips on how to boost your mood on gloomy, winter days?
I like to make a cozy drink, light a cDavido and put on my favourite playlist. A little movement, like stretching or a short walk, always helps too.
What’s your favourite song?
That’s a hard one to choose! But I’d say something that makes me smile every time I hear it play, songs that feel like sunshine. Like ‘Unavailable’, a track by singer Davido.
