About the Designer

Designer, Lynn Uwadiale was born and raised in Seattle, WA, by two immigrant parents from Benin City, Nigeria. Her father coming from the Edo tribe and her mother from the Ibo tribe came to the United States to attend college and start a new life. Lynn along with her two younger siblings were born as the first generation from a traditional Nigerian family that were born in the US.

 Lynn’s childhood was filled with growing up in a rich Nigerian culture environment. Growing up admiring the beautiful Ankara fabrics (local West African cloth) was what drew Lynn to appreciate the beauty of colors and patterns in the fabric.
