Otolorin trolled into her huge designing shop after parking her car outside. She cast a glance at the wall clock hanged on the wall. It was quarter past ten. She smiled heartily, one of the things she loved about being self-employed was the fact that she could stroll in and out at will.

Being the only child of her parent, she had the final say on what pertains to her. She was rarely countered about how she wanted to live her life. Such freedom however didn't make her go wild but she treaded life with full caution.

At a very tender age, she would sneak out to the seamstress's shop beside their house and stay for hours. Styling others had been something she enjoyed from a very little period. She would cut her mummy's headtie and use hand needle to make a dress for her teddy. Not exactly a great artist, but she drew designers on paper and try to bring them to reality.

She knew a white collar job can never befit her but she went to University anyways because her parent pressurized her to go on the claim that their only daughter must be a graduate. She came out with a second class upper credit in Linguistics from a reputable university but had her heart set on fashion designing and she pursued it fully.

Within two years of intense learning, Otolorin surprised her boss and even herself with her creativity and her potentials. She had signed for three years but then she surpassed what she had bargained for. She literally became the boss whilst being an apprentice. All the unconscious learning process she had while little went a long way to signify the difference between her and other apprentices.

Her boss became dependent on her for fresh styles since customers started complaining of her stagnancy in designing virtually same thing every time. When Otolorin realized there was nothing more to learn and that she was being milked of her creativity, she hurriedly arranged for her graduation ceremony from her boss.

She wasn't satisfied still. She registered for another designing shop and learned for good six months. She specialised in creating wedding gowns and English wears. At the end of the six months, Otolorin left there to go and create her own brand. She named it, 'Lorinta Fashion Hub' and quickly created an account for it online where she showcased her latest designs and tag celebrities.

Barely eight months of her existence as an independent designer in the fashion world, she had recounted various successes. She had fifteen apprentices, and was awarded 'Most creative Designer' at the Lagos Fashion Week. She was being patronized by various celebrities from different countries because her river of creativity never dried up.
