Men’s Senator Wear
A refined approach to modern Nigerian menswear, focused on clean structure, balanced proportions, and premium finishing.
I specialize in designing and tailoring men’s Senator outfits with attention to detail—from fabric selection and pattern drafting to precise cutting, pocket placement, piping, and finishing.
My goal is to create pieces that look sharp, feel comfortable, and reflect a confident, sophisticated style.
Each design is carefully studied and developed with a strong focus on fit, construction, and contemporary African menswear aesthetics.
Specialties:
• Men’s Senator Wear
• Pattern Drafting & Cutting
• Custom Menswear Design
• Pocket & Piping Details
• Clean Finishing
• Modern Nigerian Menswear.

I wanted to create something that felt like a real fashion brand had already existed for years.
Not just a homepage. Not a collection of pretty screens. An actual store, with its own identity, imagery, products, interactions and all the small details that make a website feel complete.
That idea became NARROWFORM.
I created the brand and name, developed the art direction, produced the fashion and product imagery, designed the entire interface and shopping experience, and built the website myself.
I wanted the concept to hold up beyond the first impression, so I built the experience all the way through:
Product discovery
Product pages
Cart interactions
Checkout
Simulated payment
Cookie consent
Responsive layouts
Mobile interactions
And the smaller interface states throughout the experience
The imagery was created specifically for NARROWFORM using generative tools, then refined and directed to fit the same visual language as the website.
The result is a complete fashion e-commerce concept that you can actually explore.
This is probably the most involved project I've made so far, because I wasn't trying to design a website around an existing brand.
I wanted to create the brand, then build the website that belonged to it.

Blezzy Couture - Shopify Fashion Store | E-commerce Growth
I built Blezzy Couture from 0 to sales using Shopify. I designed a mobile-first storefront, wrote SEO product descriptions that convert browsers to buyers, and integrated Paystack + delivery for Nigeria.
What I can do for your brand:
✓ Build/Redesign Shopify store that sells
✓ Write product copy that increases conversion
✓ Set up payments, shipping & inventory
✓ Optimize for mobile & speed
Result for my brand: Higher Instagram-to-Shopify conversion and repeat customers. I can replicate this for your fashion/beauty/e-commerce business.

Nice work on the Paystack integration, that's usually the real friction point for Nigerian fashion brands moving off Instagram DMs onto Shopify checkout. Did you keep NGN as the store currency or run it through Shopify Markets for diaspora buyers paying in USD?
The Adero House
Bespoke menswear for weddings, traditional ceremonies and major events.
I imagined The Adero House as a small, Abuja-based bespoke menswear studio run by Deola Adero, a founder and lead designer working with two tailors.
And I gave the business a few rules that shaped the product:
Customers can bring their own fabric.
Prices on the website are starting prices because the final cost depends on the fabric, construction, embroidery and customization.
The first appointment is where the important decisions happen. Design, measurements, fabric, fit and finishing.
And most importantly, a date isn’t just a date.
If someone needs an Outfit in five days, it doesn’t matter that there’s an appointment slot available. The studio may not actually be able to make it.
That became the problem I wanted to solve.
So I built two clear ways into the business.
Place an Order is for customers who already know what they want.
They select one or multiple outfits, enter their event date, and run the Date Check. The system checks whether the requested date works with the selected outfit and Adero’s production schedule.
If it works, they enter their details, choose an available appointment, add their order information and pay the ₦50,000 deposit through Paystack.
Once Paystack verifies the payment, the inquiry becomes a confirmed booking.
Book a Consultation is for customers who aren’t ready to place an order yet.
They choose what they’re interested in, provide their event date and details, choose an appointment and pay the ₦15,000 consultation fee. If they proceed with an order within seven days, that fee becomes credit toward their ₦50,000 order deposit.
So the two flows reflect two different kinds of Adero customers instead of forcing everyone through the same booking form.
Then the automation takes over.
Once a booking is confirmed, Resend handles the transactional communication.
Customers receive their booking confirmation, appointment reminders and fitting updates. When an order is ready, they’re notified whether it’s being collected or delivered.
Customers can also reschedule within Adero’s rules, with availability checked again rather than creating another round of manual coordination.
And on Deola’s side, there’s the admin dashboard.
The booking becomes an order he can track through:
Consultation → Measurements → Production → Fittings → Ready → Collected/Delivered.
I also built Ask Adero, an AI chat assistant for the questions customers are likely to ask before booking, like pricing and production timelines.
The website handles the coordination.
Deola handles the craft.
And that was the idea behind the whole build:
take “Can I book?” and turn it into “You’re booked.”
