About Me

Designing stories
through fabric

I am a Textile, Apparel Design and Fashion Merchandising graduate from Maseno University, with a passion for blending contemporary silhouettes with the rich cultural fabric of East Africa. My work lives at the intersection of identity, storytelling, and purposeful design.

With hands-on experience in garment construction, pattern making, fabric knowledge, and client-focused design, I bring meticulous attention to every piece — from concept sketch to finished creation. I also integrate AI-assisted design tools to push creative boundaries.

Honest, spiritually driven, and deeply collaborative — I seek to leverage design skills and a passion for fashion aesthetics to drive brand growth and deliver exceptional client experiences.
