I am an Ex-Banker who believed it's past time I started living my passion- CEO GLAM INTERIORS
By Kemi Mobuse - Saturday, August 12, 2017
Hmmmm! where do I even start, after a year of absence I was sceptical about getting my grooves back, but one thing I can tell you about is that: it almost never dies.
So, here we are, doing what we know how to do best....showcasing made in Naija products and Talents, and this talented lady right here; @ CEO of Glam Interiors, is one patient Chic, and that is why its such a pleasure to have a sitdown with her and wrestle out what makes her unique....before you say I talk too much, lemme serve you her interview on a platter with a side dish of barbecue Kitchen, hehe!
Read on below:
Kemi Mobuse: Can we meet you?
Glam Interiors: My name is Folukemi Seun-Abudu. I am a Christian. A Duly Certified Interior Designer and Wife to a great guy.
Kemi Mobuse: What do you do?
Glam Interiors: I
am an Interior Designer. I make bespoke furniture, kitchen installation, Space
planning and interior design consultancy.
Kemi Mobuse: What inspired your going into
this field specifically? why not maybe a doctor, lawyer like during our
parents' days, Lol!
Glam Interiors:
Lol! I am actually an Ex-Banker. I recognized God's gifting. People were also
always going on about how beautiful and well put together my apartment was. I
helped some friends out pro bono with theirs too. When the banking pressure got
too much, well, I decided to start living my passion. And here we are.... 😄.
Glam was a year last month.
WE are really Grateful for how far God has brought us.

really inspiring...
Kemi Mobuse: What major challenges have you experienced
since starting out and how can you say, it has helped you in your journey so
far?
Glam Interiors:
Hmmmm....At the onset, it was a bit of a challenge getting the brand known in
the market but as time went on, we were able to carve a niche for ourselves.
Our occasional chairs became well sought after and we broke into the market from
there.
We have not even
scratched the surface yet (lol) but we are grateful for how far God has brought
us.
Kemi Mobuse: lovely....how old is your
business now?
Glam Interiors: A
year and a month.

have taught you?
Glam Interiors:
To be stronger. It's taught me to know that; I can achieve whatever I set my
heart to.
Kemi Mobuse: Where can you say you got ideas
for your design from?
Glam Interiors: I
have the knack for putting designs together in my head. Designs, Colors. So I
put whatever inspiration I get to paper. I also learn from one or two people in
the industry.
Kemi Mobuse: That's Amazing; I can see you are
really talented.
Glam Interiors: 😊
thank you
Kemi Mobuse: And who or what can you say
serves as your inspiration?
Glam Interiors: God
is my inspiration. My gifts are from Him. 😁 He is the master
designer.

glam interiors in five years
