OPÉ has had a love for fashion ever since she was a child. She has been drawing clothes since she could hold a pencil.
Born in St. Louis, MO. to Nigerian parents, Opé was able to see Nigeria for the first time as a teenager attending high school there. Living through huge cultural changes at the time, it tempered the way she sees a colorful world around her.
Opé worked for Betsey Johnson for several years after leaving Howard University and fell into assisting stylists who would pull clothes for the local TV shows in the Washington, DC area. She later had an epiphany that she enjoyed doing this and worked as a stylist assistant for a year and a half after her discovery. Years later, she blossomed into freelance fashion styling.
Notable Magazine clients like Italian Vogue Curvy, Elle, Zink, People and Blink.

- Wearables, what are you working on and what programs do you use to create them as NFTS?
- 3D printed items, can you use the jpeg to have jewelry or accessories recreated as NFTS or do you need different software to convert them to something else that effectively allows for adding it to clothing or digital representations of people in the Metaverse?
- Can you use a 3D scanner on actual jewelry or accessories to create the right file type to make into NFT for Wearables?
- What is your dream project?
