I was born in London, but I spent my formative years in Ghana, West Africa. At the age of eleven, I returned to London, and it is this international upbringing that has led me to experience the best of both worlds!
Having completed my undergraduate studies in Law at Liverpool John Moores University, I became passionate about fashion design and enrolled in a night course in Garment Construction at Liverpool Community College. Upon completion, I was convinced that I wanted to further explore my artistic interests. Having heard so much about the stellar reputation of Heriot-Watt University, the success rates of previous graduates and the institution’s penchant for blending both the practical and theoretical aspects of the fashion enterprise, I then decided that Heriot-Watt would be the ideal setting for me.
In 2015 I decided to take a bold step of faith away from the familiar to the unknown. I started the journey to creating my very own in-house band. WOW! I love what I do. For me, creating something new is both satisfying and incredibly fulfilling. I am also a qualified kiltmaker.
It should also be said that the Frank Francia brand is also a faith-based venture as my Christian faith has motivated me every step along the way.
There is an African proverb which says, ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.’ I believe this statement to be true, and for this reason I have collaborated with other brands over the years in order to diversify my clientele.
What I find distinctive about my expanding enterprise is that in addition to designing and marketing our products, we also seek to mentor those who are interested in fashion design; and to nurture their burgeoning artistic imaginations, hence Frank Francia Academy was born – currently serving the local community.
We hope that you will love and enjoy our products like we do.
And like our slogan says, ‘You are enough.’ Don’t forget that…
Always happy to hear from you, so get in touch today!
