About Me

I had a happy childhood with both parents. Went to boarding school for primary and secondary education. I studied Bachelor of Business Administration in college but my interest is in arts and creative work so i decided to learn graphics out of passion that is why i started this business. I used to write calligraphy in my free time and sent to my send to my friends in school. My mom still keeps some of it at home. I still do the same now but at least now it is professional. I love to make gift items for my clients, it makes me happy to put a smile on someone's face. Nairobi is a great place with people from different cultures they love unique artistic or customized work and that is where i come in and make them their customized mugs, cards, water bottle , wristbands and many more. It is my way of life now. I am a hard-worker and determined to succeed in life.

My Business

I do graphic design, branding and general printing. I chose this business because it is on high demand printing is used in any kind of institution, it is also in demand because in this city people love unique and branded pieces of work that may contain their own picture or name. Things in my business move fast selling like hot cake and it is really profitable for me. Doing a logo can fetch up-to 2,000. When i brand one magic mug i spend 400 but i can sell it at 700-1000. I use my profits for inventories & my upkeep. My parents retired and I am always happy to help them with their finances and this business helps do that for them.

Loan Proposal

I want to add some more machines to my business. I need to buy Epson T50 printer which is 300 dollars. The one I was using got old and is not functioning well now. My colleague and I want to buy it together chipping in 50% of the total each that is 150 dollars each then we will share the profits 50/50. I love this printer because it is all purpose in printing photos, ID cards, Envelopes, CDs and DVDs and many more. It will be an added advantage to me because at least this time I'll be sharing the profits this time because I didn't have any ownership on the last one. It will definitely increase my profits by 30%.
I would love to own an A3 size laminator too. The price is 50 dollars. This will also minimize movements for me by doing laminations in the office other than paying for the services. I can also get some profits from brokers who bring lamination work from their clients and when I am doing plastic ID cards on laminates I can use it to seal them too. This will increase my profits by 5%.

    We were given a contract to supply some goods to a company that has been hectic to us financially though it will mature by January 5th. I will send the payment in full by then. Thanks for being patient.

    We have been given a contract to supply some goods to a company which has been hectic to us financially though it will mature by January 5th. I will resume payment by this date and if possible I may be able to sort everything out in one lump sum payment. Thanks.

    Thank you so much, I want to buy a printer head for my printer that has not been working properly for months now. It'll be imported from AliExpress because its much cheaper from that side it'll save me about 50% of the local cost.
    Thank you for funding my project. God bless you.

    Thank you your much needed financial help. Since the last loan I received I have grown so much business wise, I have been able to get a shared office space with some friends and we are doing quite well. I have been able to buy two printers since the the one I bought at first got old. But since I need more space to grow I will be needing help from you once again. Thank you, you have been a blessing to me. Thank you for being part of my journey.

    Thanks Zidisha for granting me this opportunity to increase my business and improve customer service and for being there for me always. I bought cutting machine and HP 1510 printer which is going a long way in improving my customer service and increasing my profits. thanks a lot. It has increased my earnings by 10 percent and I can say it has improved my service and efficiency by 50 percent. It has also improved my living standards, I know I got a little late in paying my last installments but it's because most payments got a little delayed by some clients but all is well now. Thanks.

    Zidisha has really improved my business. I don't have to pay for some services that give my clients true satisfaction. I have so far reduced movement to other people's offices to do simple tasks like scanning an photocopy. I am looking foward to doing much more with you guys. Thank you for this golden opportunity. God bless always.
