CEO of Groovy Threads recounts some challenges as an upcoming fashion designer

Becoming an entrepreneur is not for weak-minded people, especially in a choked field like fashion design in Ghana. How do you get celebrity clients to rock your original designs?

As a young and upcoming designer, many were the challenges I faced in my quest to enter and stay in this competitive field of fashion. A few I will mention categorically; Time management, customer satisfaction, gaining customers, trust, and confidence and breaking the stigma placed on young designers not being up to the task..

I had to do lots of pro bono jobs and a large amount of resources is needed to make an outfit stand out.

It includes getting the most efficient materials in designing whatever piece you work.

Nonetheless, clients mostly want to play on your benevolence. As a young designer, I had to be firm and let customers; be it family, friends and recommendations, understand this knowledge to erase the pro-bono mindset in order to able to get them the best.
