What Founding Buyers get
This isn't a loyalty points programme. These are real benefits only available to the first 100 people who order.
Permanent Founding Buyer Badge
Your profile shows "Founding Buyer — Design Yangu 2026" forever. Not a seasonal thing. Not for everyone. Only the first 100.
Direct Line to the Founder
Founding Buyers get access to a WhatsApp group with Ian. You suggest features, flag problems, and help shape what gets built. Actual access — not a fake feedback form.
Early Access to New Drops
Every time a new designer or product type launches, Founding Buyers hear about it first — before the public. First pick on limited edition pieces.
KES 100 Off — Easter Offer EASTER100
Use code EASTER100 at checkout for KES 100 off. Valid April 1–5 only. Join the Founding 100 and lock in your badge while spots remain.
What is Design Yangu?
Design Yangu is Kenya's first print-on-demand marketplace for Kenyan designer art. We launched in April 2026.
Every product on the platform — custom T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, mugs — was created by a Kenyan designer who earns a cut of every sale. When you buy, they get paid directly. No agency fees, no waiting six months for a cheque.
The first 100 people who place an order become Founding Buyers — permanently. We are building this in public and you would be part of the story from day one.
Three steps. M-Pesa. Done.
Browse designs from Kenyan artists
Every product was created by a Kenyan designer who earns from every sale. Custom tees, hoodies, tote bags, mugs.

The people behind your order
Ian Mutai — Founder
Ian built Design Yangu after years of watching Kenyan designers give up their work for free or sell it for less than it's worth. He writes publicly about the build at @designyangu on Twitter.
