SHARON OJONG

I was styling my friends before i even knew what the word Fashion Stylist existed.
I was designing websites before I even knew what it meant to be a UX Designer.
Inspiration is what I’m always after and what I hope to leave behind.
Sometimes I work with a muse, other times I become the muse.
