ABOUT

I am a Kenyan Immigrant. My work is created with the intent to portray Black Empowerment through Traditional African Attire and Statement Pieces. I use African traditional costumes to create contemporary work, Inspired by African Folklore. The Images on this website are modern designs juxtaposed with traditional African wear.  Kaftans have been the catalyst of my work and design development since a child. My mother loved them. The significance of this work is to educate and enlighten my community about the importance of the kaftan, Black Pride and African Textiles.
