The architectural interior designer Tola Ojuolape is about to make 2025 her year. "I’ve been busy, trying to get to the next level, to reach success," she says, of a hustle that, from the outside, looks to the world like she has already achieved it.
She set up her own studio in 2021, having previously worked for the primarily-commercial design agency Blacksheep on hotel projects around the world, and then grabbed attention with her overhaul of the Africa Centre in Southwark.
