Doris Nana Kessie has been working in the domestic and international fashion business industry for the past 35 years. She started out her career as a factory garment worker and dressmaker, and then finally as an embroiderer with the passion to educate others through the development of her own business and a fashion institute.
With a passion for artistic creations, Doris spent her entire adult life sewing and designing couture clothes for her family and friends. This exposure and deepening of experience grounded her skillsets and led her to train over 50 young apprentices whilst steadily securing clients for 15 years. Upon relocating to Accra in 2004, Doris launched D-G Embroidery as her sewing and design business evolved to include embroidery and screen-printing.
Initially beginning with a free hand embroidery machine located in her home study, Doris invested in two digital machines in 2004, and by 2008, invested in one 4-head embroidery machine, a button-making machine and a 6-head screen-printing machine. Within some few years, the small home-based business expanded into a successful medium-sized embroidery venture with over 35 clients (mostly repeat) such as West African Gas Pipeline (WAPCO), Japan Motors, Danadams Pharmaceutical, State Insurance Company (SIC), and other individual business interests.
