Sarah is a Nigerian multidisciplinary artist based in Canada, specializing in costume and set design for theatre productions nationwide. Her work has earned her recognition, including the Tyrone Guthrie Award, a Sterling nomination, and the RBC Emerging Artists Award from the Mayor of Calgary. She has collaborated with artists and organizations on devised projects, exploring storytelling through visual arts, writing, and performance. Though rooted in theatre, her curiosity and passion for artistic expression have led her to move beyond the title of "designer" and fully embrace her identity as a multidisciplinary artist.

​

As an emerging filmmaker—working as a director, writer, and producer—Sarah is deeply interested in the experiences of marginalized communities, particularly immigrants. She explores themes of culture, resilience, and personal narratives, while also examining the complexities of the human mind—its immense power and fragility. Through her work, she hopes to spark meaningful conversations between people from diverse backgrounds, united by the shared experience of being human.

Sarah is a full member of IATSE Local ADC659 – Associated Designers of Canada. She is also a sister-status member of IATSE and a permittee with the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC).
