About Me

I Never despised where I am coming from. For the past four years I was in University my mom's business has been stack on the same position, every profit made she sacrificed for me instead of investing back to grow her business, and two years later my sister went to college and the burden grew, but she still never gave up, I have seen her struggling but she kept believing in God that one day things will be ok.

To the world she is a mother and to us she is our world. Now that am done I pray that I will work and do my best to make my mom happy and boast her business to build her dream shop.

I am a local business owner that uses my art to preserve our local culture, I use my art knowledge to help revive downtown and my community.

My Business

I am a Local Fashion designer based in Kabwe. As you may know Fashion design has become highly competitive today. If you want to pursue a career in this industry, you will have to work harder and develop several other skills. It is not only about getting a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design but also about Visual Arts, General Design and even Graphic Design knowledge. That is if you really want to be the best.

I use to take home economics classes and learn how to sew fast, I could draw and paint on my own to exercise my eye for colour and patterns, I use to learn visual design software like Photoshop, CorelDraw, Xara, Serif DrawPlus
Read about Art and Fashion Design from blogs, books, and magazines. Here I am today and thank God I acquired all I wanted.

Project Proposal

I have realized that it's essential to build my skills and knowledge in fashion design. This can be done or achieved through self study, online courses, workshops also practical experience. In order for me to acquire it, money is needed that's why I want to help me raise funds for this project.

I would like also as well to familiarise myself with the basics of fashion design, including pattern making, fabric selection and garment construction.

Please backers all over the world help me with funds as soon as possible so that I may commence my studies on time.
