The artist who is so passionate about design is fascinated by the feel of fabrics, which she creatively plays around with, to make unique designs.
Her love for fashion is showcased in the way she puts together her pieces of clothing.
Vivian Solome is the Administrative Coordinator at Outbox, who is always ready to welcome our guests and clients for any logistics-related work.
Vivian asserts that women deserve to be valued, recognized, and respected. Celebrating Women’s Day gives women a sense of recognition from the world, for their achievements since ladies are raised to be inferior. “This makes them feel empowered to do anything,” she says.
In recognition, she forwards Nakaddu Hilda, a lady who passionately paints and loves art, using it to empower the young generation. Nakaddu challenges Vivian to do the same with her work.
Asked how women should be encouraged to join tech, this is what Vivian has to say; More women should be encouraged to use marketing software for their businesses. Covid 19 has affected an economy that will need time for it to rise again.
“Tech-based businesses accessed more clients because it was faster for the owners to communicate with their customers and easier for the customers to make informed decisions,” she says.
During her free time, you might meet Vivian anywhere near water, swimming, or your podcasts might be on the waves in her ears. Meanwhile, she generally hates messy things.
