About Me

I am julius kemboi.l stay in nakuru.my childhood and adult life has been in nakuru .l schooled in barut primary and my secondary was in menengai highschool nakuru. After that l went to college for art and design.

The culture in nakuru is cosmopolitant kind of setting and people are attached to the land making it what people value most as it apreciates fast.

when my children grow up l would like the best of what l never had.l have to suport them in school and would like them tobe teachers.as teachers shaped my life
In my free time l mentor children in art and design and make them feel with what they like doing.

when tourists come to kenya they like taking back with them a sourvenir and also something to add beauty to their houses.l also make bangles that are also worn by the locals some hav names inscribed on them.
