Ugwumba Vivian Chinenye. On set of Gina and Friends as a Costumier.

I joined NOLLYWOOD in 2013 working for my Elder Sister, Ugwumba Eucharia (Sexy Diamond) as a Costume Assistant while I was still in school.

I was highly dedicated, quick to learn, my sister was impressed. She sent me out to take charge of jobs, she was very confident of me.

Vivian combined working as a Costume Assistant and Tailoring, she made some of the Costumes used on set by Actors for 3 years.

       In January 2016 Sexy Diamond got a contract from Whitestone Cinema to supply costumes for a TV series (Troubled Cottage), Chinenye Vivian Ugwumba was sent to do the job with the help of another Assistant Chioma ..??? sur  name???. The recording lasted 7 weeks and Paul Igwe was very pleased.

Many months later, Whitestone Cinemas called Vivian again to Costume another TV series, (Assunda) and  she did a good job.

Paul Igwe decided to take me as their personal Costumier because he saw the zeal and seriousness in me. Since then I have been working as a Head of Department in Costumes.

I have done several jobs like Mr Perfect,  Old Firewood, Gina and Friends, and some others, creating the designs and even sew with my machine on set.
