About me / About business or organisation:

Nakate was launched in 2010 after I returned to Los Angeles after living in Uganda. Three years later, our now NYC based accessories line brings the work of East African artisans to a global high fashion and lifestyle market. 

Created in collaboration with celebrity stylist Antonio Esteban and individual artisans in Uganda, we envisioned the stories behind these pieces reminding their wearers to exp
express the adventurous, bold woman that lives in each of them. 

Career history / Company history:

I worked in journalism and media before launching Nakate.
