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.

My Business

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

When i get this loan, it will assist me in the purchase of inks and screens for printing at an estimate of 35$, i have already sourced for the T-shirts since this is an existing order and i had some savings which i used for the purchase. i have been struggling to do this kind of jobs which normally payment is made in Che ques upon delivery. Upon hearing Zidisha , i knew this was my perfect partner in my business endeavors. I intend to develop a very strong relationship with lenders so that in future i don't turn down big orders due to lack of finances. The T shirts i am printing are for Great Rift Peace initiative , a local organization based in Marigat Baringo County. The other 15$ will come in Handy in Transportation and delivery of the T-shirts.
