Stephanie grew up in the Mathare Valley Slum in Kenya. Her father, an architect, passed away when she was a child, so she dreamed of honoring him by pursuing a career in architecture and design. At the age of ten she attended Art Camp and discovered her talent for fashion and design. By the age of sixteen she was an assistant Artist Mentor in fashion class and after graduation from High School Stephanie was awarded a scholarship to study at the Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts. During her training she developed a new dream to launch an Interior Design business called Dalawa Decos. Dalawa means “home” in Stephanie’s Tribe, and the mission of her new company is to make creative and sustainable home accessories for clients in the Nairobi area. Inverted Arts is thrilled to begin a five-year business partnership with Stephanie and Dalawa Decos beginning January 1st, 2025!
