Kenneth Hagin
Designer, Social Media Manager, and Director in Nairobi, Kenya
An Accountant, an astute Entrepreneur and a Graphic designer! Born Samuel & Herine Chiaji over four decades ago in Nairobi, Kenya, Kenneth grew up in a middle class Christian family.
Immediately following his graduation from high school in the early 90’s, Kenneth took up an accounting job in a small organization until 2004 when he decided to embark on a full time accounting course at the Kenya College of Accountancy in Nairobi, to compliment his practical experience. Barely two years into the college, he abandoned the course and resigned from employment altogether, embarking full-time in handbag retail business which did not do well as anticipated, mainly due to cash-flow constraints.
Kenneth gave employment a second shot beginning from November of 2007 and has since then worked in different organizations and held various positions ranging from an Accountant to a Personal Assistant, a Legal Officer to a Filing and Information Manager, and lately, an Assistant Planning Manager, prior to his voluntary retirement in early 2014 to venture into fashion design.
His debut into the fashion industry took many by surprise since he had never taken up any fashion design courses. His fashion sense became apparent at a tender age when he would alter and trim his attire to match up to his taste, despite ridicule from his siblings. Even though he could not afford to purchase the trendy and fashionable clothing, he made it a point to look stylish in his inexpensive threads. Coupled with the support of his friends - he founded and incorporated Kayworths International Limited as a limited liability fashion company. His debut into the fashion industry is inspired more from an inborn passion rather than a profession - forming the basis for Kayworths trademark and slogan: “Passion Inspired Fashion™”. Kayworths may not have secured a remarkable niche in the fashion field as yet, but Kenneth believes that with self-determination, inventiveness and trust in God, Kayworths is poised to achieve a leadership position in the world of contemporary fashion in the near future.
Kenneth has also perfected his talent in the art of Graphic Design given his computing prowess gained progressively over the years. His exceptional designs works give him a competitive edge in the print and electronic media industry.
