Design Yangu is Live: Kenya's First On-Demand Custom Merch Platform is Finally Here

Design Yangu is officially live Kenya's custom merch platform where designers earn and buyers get quality personalised products, delivered nationwide with M-Pesa payments.

Design Yangu your design, your way is live at designyangu.com. From this morning, any Kenyan with a vision can order custom products designed by talented local creatives, pay via M-Pesa, and get nationwide delivery straight to their door.

If you've been waiting to order that custom hoodie. That company branded tote bag. The personalised mug that doesn't look like it came from a Chinese catalogue with a Nairobi shop stamp on it your wait is over.

And if you're a designer who's been wondering where to actually sell your work beyond DMs, freelance jobs, and hoping someone re-shares your post your platform is here.

Design Yangu is Kenya's custom merchandise platform that connects designers with buyers.

For buyers: Browse designs from Kenyan creatives. Pick a product tee, hoodie, mug, tote bag, phone case, cap. Customise. Pay via M-Pesa. Receive your order.

For designers: Open your shop on Design Yangu. Upload your artwork. When someone orders a product with your design, you earn a royalty. You don't touch inventory, printing, or delivery we handle that. You just create.

It's print-on-demand, but built for how Kenya actually works. M-Pesa at checkout. KES pricing. Designs that actually resonate with who we are.

Kenya has extraordinary creative talent. Walk through Nairobi's art scene from the murals in Westlands to the photographers shooting in Kibera, the graphic designers working from Kilimani apartments, the illustrators building audiences on Instagram. There is no shortage of talent.
