Ever since I could remember, I have always been very passionate about arts, developing and designing. All I want is to be a true expert in this craft! However, I wasn’t ready to pursue this professionally right away until I reconnected with Ruth in 2015. With our background in arts and design – Ruth studied in UK and Ghana was where I pursued my studies. After extensive research and brainstorming, we knew which category we fit within the marketplace or space. We found our ourselves within the designing and manufacturing sectors where we are able to create, innovate and design unusual products - modifying our own bespoke items…like home, bathroom décor and accessories etc. Our products are designed to suit every home and it also affordable to new homeowners, property developers, retailers etc. This amazing products puts customers and clients at ease. We want homeowners living in their home to authentically represent their aesthetic sense when they purchase our products. We looked at one problem that many people were facing: that was space. Then we thought of how to save space in our home primarily. Our first idea came about when we had no space for spare rolls in our super small bathroom, and even to buy a free standing toilet roll keeper, that’s where we thought of creating a space saving product. We are passionate about what we do and there is nothing that we both can’t achieve by working hard and achieving our goals for ourselves. We know we are here and here to stay. We both have the ability to clearly capture and excuse this vision.
