Evelyn didn't set out to become an entrepreneur—she simply couldn't find the products she needed, and her analytical mind wouldn't let that slide.
As a business analyst with Nigerian heritage and a passion for authentic flavours, Evelyn spent years solving complex problems for major corporations. But the problems that truly mattered to her were happening in her own home. When she couldn't find a way to make authentic Jollof rice without sourcing dozens of ingredients, or child-sized exfoliating gloves after her daughters' request at The Body Shop, she realised these weren't just her problems—they were market gaps waiting to be filled.
Coming from a lineage of warrior women who cleared paths to new places and owned rooms they were told they couldn't be in, Evelyn describes herself as a "natural fixer." Her mind is built to seek solutions, and when she identifies a genuine need, her professional background kicks into action with research, analysis, and systematic problem-solving.
She founded Made By Demand with a simple mission: create innovative, high-quality products that enhance everyday life whilst celebrating cultural heritage. Starting with zero budget and armed with analytical skills, she's grown the brand's digital presence across multiple platforms whilst developing products that solve real problems for real families.
Her flagship Jollof Sauce transforms authentic West African cuisine into a three-ingredient solution, whilst her family-sized exfoliating gloves emerged from her daughters' entrepreneurial suggestion. Both products reflect Evelyn's core belief that the best innovations come from listening to genuine needs—sometimes from the smallest voices with the biggest ideas.
Today, Evelyn continues to plot the next super-useful product whilst raising two future entrepreneurs who've already proven they inherited the family's problem-solving DNA.
