Ghetto Africa is an African street style brand created by Swangz Avenue, an audio and and film production house in Uganda that is more lined with music production, artist management and promotion. Together we developed this brand to create the most fashionable yet affordable street style pieces to African youth to promote African culture incorporated with western style while also promoting African based brands.

The Spark ✨

The goal of the client was to get this idea he had for a long time and implement it and decided to hire a Project Manager Lead to take on this project since he didn't have the time to oversee every little detail. I was chosen for this project due to my demonstrated organisational skills, ability to come up with creative and diverse solutions to problems and communication skills. Throughout a period of a year we were able to contact a number of manufacturers, come up with product lists and samples, launch a two collections with a range of three products, strategically promote the brand by utilising musicians managed by the company and make 80% of initial sales after launch of both collections.
