Jamilla Okubo knew from her early childhood that fashion was in her blood. After art teachers and her mother noticed her unique eye for color, Okubo’s fate as an artist was set. After graduating from Parsons in New York City with a degree in Integrated Design, Okubo launched her career as a mixed media artist, painter, and entrepreneur. After a variety of chance encounters and once in a lifetime opportunities, Okubo found her designs at the center of some of the largest household names in fashion. From designing bags for Christian Dior to being tapped to work with the Tory Burch foundation, Okubo’s authenticity and American, Kenyan, and Trinidadian identity have contributed to her one of a kind designs--as a black female pioneer unapologetically incorporating her unique background into contemporary artistic visions.

How Artist Jamilla Okubo works with Apple and Dior

The Cherry Blossom Festival is March 20 – April 14, and the LINE DC is paying homage in a multitude of ways: most visibly with public art on the façade of our 110-year old church in Adams Morgan. “When There’s A Will, There’s a Way #2” is by illustrator, surface designer, and Washington, DC native Jamilla Okubo. This work, at right, will be proudly displayed at the entrance of the LINE DC for the entirety of the Festival. Jamilla’s past projects include illustrated children’s books and collaborations with fashion lines (including Dior, and Australia’s Gorman) – we’re honored and proud to work with Jamilla in celebration of this season, in this city. Listen to this special interview and learn about Jamilla’s work and how she found her path as an artist growing up in Washington, DC.
