I started off doing a ton of sales enablement - a mix of web, digital, and print design, and content creation. A few years later, Sefaira was acquired by SketchUp, and as they say, the rest is history.Īt Sefaira. I joined the team at Sefaira in 2013, a novel start-up at the time. An internship at Foster + Partners, an interior design masterclass and a short stint in luxury interior architecture later, I chose to shift gears a little and deep dive into the realities of sustainable design. I moved to the United Kingdom to attend university, focusing on architecture in both my undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

I was born and raised in Nigeria, where there was no lack of creative influences and support throughout my childhood. Now, let’s get to know the lady of the hour! We are thrilled that Sumele agreed to grace us all with her presence on our axis for 2021 - her talent, passion, and expertise shine through in all she does at SketchUp, and we know she’ll be a guiding light as you navigate your models.
I love adding character to projects using furniture, people, or the backdrop of nature.
