Buruburu Institute of Fine Art

Diploma in Fashion Design and Clothing Technology

Apparel, Design, Atelier - Pattern Cutting

I am a self-taught visual artist and designer, working in two-dimensional art: drawing and painting in various medium, as well as graphic print design. I am currently a first year fashion design diploma student at Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts in Nairobi, Kenya. I am passionate about the environment, wary of the damage inflicted on the planet, and geared towards making a positive mark towards it's restoration through fashion, art and design, that promotes environmental accountability and sustainability. I am a big believe that Africa holds the key to this renewal. By tracing indigenous ethics that are in harmony with nature, we can trace the wisdom in our heritage.

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.
