My name is Cosmas Ken .my family has six members ,which includes my two sisters and my brother .Both of my parents are alive.I was able to pass my KCPE in 2008 and was able to gain admission to Alliance high school ,which is widely considered the best high school in Kenya .It was there that i discovered my passion for branding and selling clothing.I was able to come up with designs which were printed on the schools games kits .After high school ,I joined Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology where i study computer science .This helped me to be able to come up with better designs which i then printed on jumpers and tshirts which i sold .That was the foundation to my business
I run a branding business. I buy plain clothing such as jumpers ,vests ,t shirts and hats ,I then brand the clothing with various designs which appeal to the youth and then I sell them .I also brand clothing for groups such as dance crews ,choirs and football teams .i normally design my brands according to user specifications but Im looking to expand and come up with even better designs that will appeal to new customers.My profits are used partly to pay for my fees and partly to sustain me through buying essential items for my business and for my survival like foodstuffs
i hope to use the loan to pay for a short course in brand design which costs 60$.After doing this course,Ill have learnt and improved my brand design skills.The remaining amount ill use as for production of the designs through buying the proper and quality inks and canvas which use to come up with my designs
