Get ready for the long haul!…
“Be ready to be in it for the long haul; they say building a company from scratch takes 3-5 years. It may take longer. Dig deep and breathe deeply.”
Chrissa Amuah is the founder of AMWA Designs(UK/Ghana) a business that creates handmade textiles and print designs for the home, commercial spaces and fashion industry. Her work reflects her design ethos and passion for celebrating her own African heritage, but with a contemporary flair that is her own. AMWA Designs are built on the principle that our homes, private spaces and beings should be enveloped with beautiful furnishings and textiles that evoke powerful and positive thoughts within us. The Adinkra symbols and proverbs of Ghana form the inspiration of Chrissa’s design ethos. The symbols serve a decorative function, but also convey traditional wisdoms and adages.
