After she completed senior high school, Sandra decided to turn the lemons life offered her into lemonade. She looked within herself for solutions and decided to start a shoe-making business.
A teenager at the time, Sandra started learning shoe-making from a local shoemaker at a local shop and later decided to start her own business.
She personally began her shoe-making journey from a family storage room with a sewing and scouring machine she borrowed.
In 2013, she officially started her business which has now gained prominence as a brand.
Saint Ozwald Shoes is one of the most celebrity-endorsed locally made shoe brands in Ghana.
