BhoFro Design

I'm Chitsanzo, a creator and bohemian at heart. As someone who has always had a creative flare, it is rewarding for me to finally be able to express myself through my work and share my love for African Design. I am from Zomba, Malawi, in southern Africa. Malawi is known as "the warm heart of Africa", full of beautiful warm people who always share a smile with you. I have been an artistic person since I was a child. Back then I had made up my mind that I was going to be an artist. However growing up in a developing country like Malawi, everyone told me that art wouldn’t earn me a living at all. Then my high school design and technology teacher suggested that I try architecture which would have an element of art, so I did. Fast forward years later, I have an architecture degree and a master’s degree, have worked for eight years in the field and still felt that child artist knocking and trying to come out. So I listened. I decided to go for it by creating a collection of African inspired jewelry and opening an online store because I’m happiest when I’m being creative, and everyone deserves to have a unique piece of jewelry to call their own. I have a vision that BhoFro Design will be a place to allow me to express my creativity and share my culture with the world with beautiful unique items. I try hard to source Malawian fabric to support the local economy, but where I cannot, I make sure that the products are sourced from other African Fair Trade sources.
