As a model she has worked for the likes of "House of Marie", "Ade Bakere", "Adebayo Jones", "Zizi Cardow", "Shakara Couture", "Konga Online" and others.[3] Isime has said of her modelling: "It is all about the ability to always try and to keep coming back until you get your big break. In Nigeria, modelling is not as it is in the western countries where you get your big break and that is it.
