☀️ MEET SITHANDIWE ☀️
— In honour of workers day! —

This talented lady’s journey is one of strength and determination. Deaf from birth, Sithandiwe has always been guided by resilience and a deep desire for independence 💪

Before joining HIPPO Studio, Sithandiwe spent time at the Mzilikazi Art Centre, where she made a decision that would shape her future: to carve a life through her own creativity 🎨

Her primary focus as a HIPPO Studio ceramic decorator is with animals and birds, and she excels in the Mashona Collection 🐘

Married with a child, Sithandiwe aspires to become a recognised artist and to keep working hard to achieve her dreams ✨ One of these being to give her child a good education. Her story is a beautiful reminder that creativity can be both a path and a purpose 💛
