    I am a graduate of interior architecture, became a carpenter, set up a factory in Kenya & this truly is my happy place. I create from the depth of my soul,exploring all materials, believing that #madeinkenya & #jobcreation is the way to go. This is a long term investment.

    10 years ago , I joined a carpentery class in Eastlands, Nairobi. Determined to learn how to make #quality furniture for #children. The brand continues to grow despite the challenges of #manufacturing . One drawing ,one wood shaving, one product at a time. ⁦⁦@UNICEF⁩

    My kitchen gives my life ☀️. My happy place is where I can create , listen to music & cook. #Art & #nature surround me. Tiles in kitchens make me feel cold , so I don’t use any . #Authentic #Design #InteriorDesign #African #Soul #happy ⁦@designindaba⁩ ⁦@GSofA⁩ ⁦

    My earliest memory of me #designing , was 9 years old . Years later I learnt #carpentry. Today I design & manufacture. Design & #skills training are such important subjects to teach. Everything in life is first designed then made. We must change the #TVET perception ⁦

    Why would you give cut roses when you can give rose bushes 🥰. Be different this Valentine’s, be intentional, sustainable & give your loved one their own #Funhomes garden of roses 🌹. #valentines #love #environment

    Are you guilty of hoarding furniture waste😅 .. in your organisations & homes ? We love to source old broken furniture, old clothing & up cycle, give it a new funky lease of life for #schools around #Kenya that desperately need furniture. We see trash as treasure ♻️. #SDGs

    Of all the things we do , what brings me greatest & deepest joy ,is being able to provide dignity to children &teachers in schools around Kenya . This is made possible by the generous donation of used pallets by organisations + individuals & then the purchase of the final desks .

    A special shout out to @DecathlonNairobi for ordering the blue standing desk from us for the new Two Rivers store. For an #SME to scale we need work we need orders. Giving advice is great but we need more big companies to be intentional by becoming my customer, help me #scale .
