An idea and design created by Mauryn Kkira

My name is Mauryn Kkira (pronounced Maureen Chirrha) and I am originally from Uganda - a small country in East Africa. In an effort to manage a difficult situation, I chose to stop college and opted for a certificate course (which was literally all I could afford), got a job as a clinical assistant and became the bread-winner for me and my family. It became the adventure through which I learned so much about myself and discovered my love for creativity, freedom, selfexpression and the desire to inspire people to be themselves. My design style is deeply influenced by my upbringing and my African heritage which is rooted in visceral textures, the vibrancy of color, bold whimsy and organic multi-dimension. My life story has taught me a few things and they are the reason I do this work! I know the value of being free to live one’s truth and to express it in whichever way they feel most honored. There is no greater bliss.
