BFIXEDIT: The Exhibition!! Wow wow wow all I can say is a MASSIVE thank you to my incredible team and to every single person that came and supported this in any way possible!! Thank you so much @thecontentcloudnetwork and @jubelbeer !! Non stop compliments about your delicious beer so we’re very grateful! I have been so overwhelmed with gratitude I literally had to rest for a week 😭 I hope my message of going out there and creating in any capacity was heard and felt, I hope everyone left understanding what set design is and why it’s so important. And if you didn’t, not to worry, I will be doing this again next year hehe For those who missed the exhibition, I’ll be releasing a booklet and guide as well as creating a digital and interactive version soon enough so much to be excited about! This one post is not enough to capture the night so there’s more to come I fear 🙂‍↔️ Team credits: Bolaji - Lead Designer and Curator @bfixedit_ Elsiha - Venue Liaison & Curator @smallsgallery Vanessa - Creative Director & Creative Strategist @cos_mina08 Rhyana - Producer & Brand manager @rhyanas.stu Rebecca - Business Partner @rebeccdnr Pamella - Set Design Assistant @maaioco Aaishah - Set Design Assistant @aaishah.xox Abbie - Set Design Assistant @abbie.siu Yann - Set Design Assistant @_konan1 Sacha - Videographer @sachvisuals O’Neill - Photographer @rei.boogie Cords - Photographer @cordcoree Janet - Floral Designer @afterjummy.florals Mayowa - DJ - @m4yow44

BTS Moments of myself and my incredible assistants building the set for @parallelxstudio latest editorial PX3: CAPSULE 1 Had to paint the entire thing in my building’s corridor 😭😭😭 I really enjoyed the challenge of making the box reversible though! The paint took me over budget so I had to get creative 🙂‍↕️ designs @parallelxstudio creative direction @omgtiffanie photography @aaronpaulwalker_ styling @oliviacatchpole mua @danielaxalves models @mikaelaberhane set build @bfixedit_ set build assist @iraalecia @rebeccdnr @khezia.estelle assist @msmayamaya

BECOMING. A poetic visual journey through surrender and change—where identity is stripped back and the past begins to fade. In that release, something deeper surfaces: a more honest, unguarded self. Thank you so much @facevalue___ for reaching out to me for set design. I really appreciate you allowing me to take creative control and explore different ways I could transform a space 🥹 Thank you @joypeluanu for assisting me on this project!
