@muftaufemiajose
I create luxury retail environments that turn brand stories into client engagement and sales.
What I'm looking for
I'm developing the visual and retail experience for ITURA, an experiential retail platform for independent African brands. I create pop-up, retail-space, and brand-activation concepts from creative direction through execution.
At Cute-Saint, I led visual merchandising across retail, showroom, and presentation spaces, translating brand vision into product stories and spatial layouts. My refined merchandising contributed to a 20% increase in customer traffic while aligning seasonal collections with commercial storytelling.
My work spans Galeries Lafayette, editorial styling at Escape Magazine, bridal consulting, and fashion design. Trained in Contemporary Fashion Design in Paris, I bring a detail-focused understanding of space, light, styling, materials, and customer journey to premium retail experiences.
