Message from The CEO
Having been in the design and build industry spanning a decade now, I have learned and experienced a lot. I have come across diverse groups of people of different calibers and distinct passion in design industry.
There are so many young people who have quite a recommendable university results in paper (theoretically based approach) but don’t have the know-how in work execution and experience. Students who went through curriculum but have no skills in their areas of specialization. We have a gender disparity ,interior design scope knowledge and importance of interior design or construction industry as a skill and a career.
Interior design is my heart`s passion and life commitment. It being my life, I want to leave a legacy of imparting this skill to anyone interested either a beginner or having interior design background but no experience as well as will be combing the theory and instilling practicality.
Having considered so many factors i.e.; unemployment, construction industry growth in preparation of the Kenyan vision 2030 whose economic pillar construction falling under industrial sector which contributes about 16.9% GDP to the Kenyan as at 2022, meaning we have a bigger growth margin. Kenya alone needs about 250,000 housing units to gap the 2000000 units deficit. With the above statistics bearing in mind, coupled with my experience, I came up with a more experienced based curriculum to slope a theoretical norm we are accustomed to in our learning institutions. It is a really my passion and heart’s desire to give out to our country a hands on expertise in design and build industry that can contribute to our economy with the right skills and knowledge to do exploits with minimal supervision.
