Read MoreEngland-born, Yety is a producer and costume designer with West African roots. Starting her decade-long career in costumes in New York City after an introduction to luxury menswear at British GQ and Mr Porter in London; she began her career in the U.S. at Cosmopolitan magazine. Yety’s short "Rest Stop" is available to stream on NOWNESS after premiering at TIFF, screening at SXSW and winning the Jury Award for U.S. Fiction at the Sundance Film Festival 2023. While her feature One Night Stay premiered on BET+ and Amazon, in January 2024. She continues to collaborate with Euphoria designer Heidi Bivens, as an assistant costume designer on international feature films, including Benny Safdie’s A24 "The Smashing Machine".
Her decade below the line nurtured her commitment to curate and create the stories that are often left unread; as well as dress the characters that lived within them. Her debut short as producer and designer, "The Incredible Sensational Fiancée of Sèjí Àjàyí", exploring the Pan-African whimsical world of Alkebulan received a SeriesFest 2025 special mention. Continuing on to screen at Oscar qualifying festivals such as Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival, Hollyshorts and the New Orleans Film Festival 2025. Currently in feature film development, in collaboration with former JuVee Productions SVP, Rob "R.W" Williams. While her most recent project premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, "Birdie" tells the story of longing through the eyes of a 16 year old girl living in the aftermath of the Nigerian Biafra civil war. A 2025 PGA Creates Lab finalist, she was accepted into the BFI backed Matchmakers - Global South Lab and is represented globally by the United Talent Agency.
