Millicent Wanza

University of Nairobi

I am a product designer at the University of Nairobi. I like looking for the positive even in the most disheartening of times. The world at the moment is at such a place. But...if you look keenly, through a different perspective, or lens...you might just find something that gives hope. And that's where I thrive.

Green Wall in Red

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Africa

China is creating a “Great Green Wall," which is an ecological project to stop the expansion of the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts and that forms the inspiration for my design. The bag is designed with a visual representation of the trees separating the desert and the green vegetation in the country. The symbolism in the materials used is extensive, making each part of the piece deliberate and well thought of.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
