About Me
I am a Graphic designer and fine artist based in Nairobi Kenya. I graduated from Kenya Polytechnic in the year 2002. I thank God for the great talent he gave me which i love and practice on a daily basis and which is also a source of income to me, I specialize in Portrait painting and drawing and also abstract painting. I also do general graphic design and printing services. I am a humble person who loves traveling, reading, drawing and playing rugby. My physical area of business is mainly Nairobi but i intend to expand to the larger Kenya and eventually Africa.

I am in the Art and design business, I mainly make paintings for Hotels and individuals and also for sale at galleries and curio shops in Nairobi and its environs, from this art works i generate quite some income through out the year but more during high tourist seasons. I also do Digital art i.e graphic design which i graduated from Kenya polytechnic with, this being the main source of income i do it on daily basis. i design artworks from thumbnail stages through comprehensive stage to the final artwork at a fee. and thereafter outsource the printing work to other places from which i also make a profit. i generate asn average of about USD300 monthly which i intend to grow with your support.
Loan Proposal
I would first of all thank all lenders for the first loan that really thrusted my business. This second loan if i get it will be fully used to purchase a desktop computer. Which will save me the pressure and expences of working from a cyber cafe'. My work especially designing is computer aided with programs such as as Photoshop, illustrator and coreldraw. A computer which can support this programs will cost me an estimate of $250. I have some savings of about 120$ that i will top up the loan to purchase the said computer of the following specifications. Dual core processor. 2 GB of R.A.M. and a hard disk of not less than 500 GB. With the purchase of this computer i will be saving an average of 30$ weekly which i normally pay as fees to cyber cafes for computer use. This is a substantial amount to save and will really help me grow. Thank you very much.
