"Ayanda Carter, the gifted South African-born design guru of Mozambican descent, has achieved far more within the interior design and construction industry than belies her 10-year experience".After graduating from Greenside Design School in South Africa, Ayanda's creativity, sharp acumen, and passion for design shone in her first role. She rose quickly from her entry-level design and sales associate role to become one of the highest earners at her boutique interior design firm. In a display of vision, Ayanda moved to the vibrant Lagos, Nigeria. Here, in Africa's fastest growing economy, she created her own international design firm. The firm, Iroko Interior Designs specialises in custom designs and turnkey commercial and residential projects. Using her skills, knowledge, confidence, and versatility, she piloted her firm to the summit of the unpredictable and largely male-dominated design industry.Iroko Interior Designs boasts an impressive portfolio of corporate, government, and residential projects in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, the United Kingdom, and the Americas. Cementing their credentials as pioneers in their field, Iroko introduced their flagship product service: 'Apartment In A Box' in 2017 to cater to the market of millennials and individuals who desire quick and affordable design solutions. Also, the company will soon provide clients with the option to use sustainable furniture designs and curated decor pieces. She is also the Chief executive officer for Melanin Creatives an E-learning architecture and interior design platform and Carter's Airbnb located in heart of Lagos.
