Our Story
Born from a love of heritage, craftsmanship, and storytelling, our journey started with a simple realization: the world deserves to experience the brilliance of Nigerian artistry, but many of these masterpieces remain undiscovered.
As Nigerian-Americans with deep ties to both cultures, founders David Sonaiya and Valerie Ehimhen saw an opportunity to bridge this gap with AIYA Curated. From the bustling markets of Lagos to the hidden ateliers of master artisans, we have carefully curated a collection that celebrates the finest of Nigerian art and décor.
Whether it’s hand-carved sculptures, intricate textiles, or statement pieces that command attention, each work of art tells a unique story of tradition, passion, and identity.
Our Mission
Our goal is to elevate Nigerian artistry on the world stage while fostering meaningful cultural exchange.
We work directly with artisans to ensure they receive fair compensation and global recognition for their craftsmanship. Every purchase supports not just an artist but a legacy—one that has been passed down through generations.
We want our platform to be more than just a marketplace; we want it to be a cultural experience.
Through our curated collections, exclusive events, and storytelling, we invite you to immerse yourself in the soul of Nigeria and build a deeper connection with its people and traditions.
