The designer
Hello, I’m Sheila! In the 4th grade, I was given a sewing kit and some fabric for a handkerchief creating project. I finished the project then created a dress, I’ve been in love with designing ever since.
Having had the privilege of seeing the world at a young age I quickly adopted the sentiment and idea that I am a world citizen. As a result I have been influenced greatly by not just my culture but those of the people and artisans I’ve met.
KumaVida is a collection of designs made by some of the most talented artisans in the world. Our designs so far have hailed from India, Kenya, Morocco, and my home country of Ghana. Our designs fall in all or one of the following categories:
- Made using sustainable products
- Made using traditional artisanal methods
- Empowering women through trade
- Made using recycled materials
- Made in small batches
