Hello, I'm Mary Muchiri, a versatile designer with a journey that began at Nairobi Institute of Technology in 2016. I earned my diploma in Animation and digital media in 2018. Starting my career at 21 in a digital learning solutions company, I animated kids' books for a digital app. Later, I joined a 3D printing company, designing and 3D printing sculptures. Currently, I'm a motion designer at East African Breweries Limited, contracted from Ogilvy Africa, working in their in-house digital team called Digitribe. In 2021, I decided to pursue a degree at Technical University of Kenya as an evening student, specializing in product design, where I gained knowledge in fashion design and explored visual cultures in gender matters. As Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun."
POCKETFUL - EMERALD GREEN BLAZER JACKET
Product and Industrial Design focuses on enhancing lives by providing solutions to existing challenges. One such problem faced by numerous women globally is the lack of pockets in their clothing. To address this, I collaborated with Ms. Esther Kute, commencing with initial sketches and culminating in technical drawings for a women's corporate blazer jacket. The final product, an exquisite Emerald Green blazer, caters to the needs of professional women with two spacious interior pockets, accommodating essentials like tablets, notebooks, lip-gloss, chocolates, tampons, or even a change of clothing. The use of delightful flowery chiffon lining and striking emerald green Kanda fabric adds a unique and elegant aesthetic touch. I extend my gratitude to Ms. Esther Kute for her invaluable guidance throughout this creative journey, leading us to a successful completion.
