What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in fashion design while collaborating with creative teams.

I am a dynamic professional with over three years of specialized expertise in fashion design and sewing. As the founder of The House of Dandy, I have successfully launched my independent sewing business, where I offer personalized sewing services tailored to individual client needs. My journey began as a self-taught designer, and I take pride in creating custom garments that reflect each client’s unique style and preferences.

My work encompasses every step of the design process, from initial consultations to final fittings, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. I believe in empowering individuals to express their unique identities through fashion, combining creativity with practicality to deliver bespoke designs that stand out. My experience includes an internship at the Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation, where I ensured compliance with safety regulations and provided training on health risks, showcasing my ability to excel in collaborative environments.
