Yimika is a Nigerian surface pattern designer living in Calgary, Alberta. A lover of creative endeavours, she spent her childhood creating worlds in her mind, making up stories, expressing herself through music and dance. The culture of custom fashion and expressive print is part of her Nigerian heritage- one that she marries with her serene personality to produce elegant and sophisticated pattern collections that tell the tales of the world around her. An avid traveller, she invites you to share the memories of some of her favourite trips to iconic cities, and pay homage to the natural inhabitants of her new home.

Blue waves beckon for an escape sweet: Gentle tans in summer heat and salty lips kissed by sea mist Taste cava and paella in the centres of broad streets, Creating soothing moments and lifetime memories. Exploring arts and architecture, the warmth of culture frees, Basking in the cool embrace of a light tropical breeze, Strolling through a country vineyard or along the shores of the sea, The melodic songs of Spain call to witness its beauty.

Fresh snow climbs the heights of mountain peaks, and the forest sleeps in a moment of rest. Bare trunks and evergreens await anew a time of rebirth.
