About Us

Two TCK ’s (third culture kids) who met at a boarding school on the edge of the Great Rift Valley in Kenya. We both spent our childhood growing up in Africa (Evan in Zimbabwe and Malawi, Annette in Kenya) and share a life long love for the continent. Evan, a fine artist who primarily paints Africa (evanchurchart.com), has a decade of experience in humanitarian aid work and also spent a number of years working at the design center of Ford Motor Company in Detroit.  Annette is a full time freelance graphic designer who works in all facets of branding, print media, marketing, and merchandise design. We reconnected well into adulthood and our relationship began with a conversation about starting creative enterprises in Africa.  We were married in 2018 and the last few years have been spent dreaming and laying groundwork for an import based business that hopes to produce unique and beautiful items as well as offer a better livelihood to artisan partners back home.

As proud graduates of our alma mater, Rift Valley Academy, we decided a great place to start would be to produce swag for students and fellow alumni, all who share a unique upbringing in Africa.  Beyond that we plan to continue expanding our line of apparel and products, bringing together elements of life experience in Africa and our love of design.  As TCK’s, by definition a combination of cultures, it is after all who we are.
