What inspired you to start up your business?
As a person I love to look good. Because I believe you are addressed how you dress. The need to look good made me go into fashion. I have this stature where I have to always amend any cloth I buy in the market. I just decided to take the class during a summer break when I was still on school, I made my clothes for a start and then people began to engage me and here we are.

How were you able to raise fund for your business?
I started with my savings actually, because I was into buying and selling back then I just cashed in and put my money into the clothing business.

Where do you see your brand 5 years?
We in a digital world, social media has been a great help, I also put up adverts in magazines and hand bills.

What are the challenges you’ve faced while running your business?
The major challenge has been power supply which I know for a fact is a challenge all manufacturers face in this country. You tend to spend extra cost on generating power supply.

How does it feel being your own boss?
Being your own boss is a great thing but I see myself as serving others because at the end what matters is my customers satisfaction so I put in enough effort to make them happy. But as a boss you can plan when you want to work and how you want to do your thing that’s a plus.

Has it been financially rewarding?
Yes it has.

Where do you see your brand in 5 years?
The idea is to put a well tailored cloth in every wardrobe in the country.
