Professional info
I started my own small printing business in 2009, had to close the business in 2012 because my husband who had a construction business at the time, landed a large contract in Tete, Mozambique. We stayed there for a year. Since we came back from Mozambique, I have been in charge of the marketing side of my husbands construction business until 2018 when my husband's health deteriorated rapidly and we had to close the business at the start of 2019. Since then, I have been doing freelance graphic design work again. And I'm slowly getting my printing business on the go again.
