To help people in this industry in Kenya when I move to London
About me / About business or organisation:
I am 23, and live in Kenya...I love art (as an umbrella term for many things..), the Great Outdoors, pretentious anthropology chat (which was my degree at Bristol), horses, good journalism... and i find this kind of box that one has to fill in to proceed rather difficult so i will stop now.
Career history / Company history:
I moved to Kenya a year ago after graduating to work for UniquEco Designs, a company that recycles rubbers that create environmental problems in Africa, such as flip flops and inner tube. Initially I worked in marketing and sales, but design is where my interest lies and so I started working on a range of inner-tube and canvas laptop bags. The few that have been made have sold successfully, but due to production issues (i.e. finding tailors who have the skills to produce at a consistently high standard) it has been hard to keep up. I also design feather and recycled bead jewellery and clothes.
To fund life here I work as an art and English Lit teacher in an international school.
I have a column in a Nairobi nightlife magazine
And I am illustrating a childrens book.
