Shantel from Melbourne Australia was in Nairobits to give a talk to our students on how to start a business especially in the web design industry. We recognize that not all the students we train are bent towards seeking or acquiring a white collar job or employment. In many instances some of these students have expressed interest in starting their own enterprises. In line with this realization Shantel came in to share the basics of going it alone or with a possible partner.
She is a web designer who started her own company two years ago in Australia. Having been born in a family of five she has two sisters whom one is a hairdresser and the other one works in a clothes store. She did say that life was not a walk in the park for her even after she began studying computer science degree back in Australia. This prompted her to enroll in design classes and thereafter began working on a part time basis .Later on she discovered that the design industry offered more training and skills in design far much more than college could ever do. She then quit the university to pursue her job.
This lasted for a while. She only worked for eight months then resigned to form her own company of outsourcing and designing. This was aided by the fact that she could make as much money as a free more than her pay check could offer.
