Sounds familiar?
- →You've sent your design to someone and they loved it — but they never paid you
- →You've posted art that got 200 saves and zero income
- →You've thought about selling merch but worried about printing, stock, and delivery
- →You've watched international creators earn from their designs while Kenyan buyers struggle to find local options
That's exactly why we built Design Yangu.

All products are printed on-demand — only when a customer orders. You never hold stock.
Real numbers. No fluff.
| Product | Base Cost | Suggested Retail | Your Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-shirt (unisex) | KES 900 | KES 1,500–2,000 | KES 600–1,100 |
| Hoodie | KES 1,800 | KES 3,000–3,500 | KES 1,200–1,700 |

You set your own prices. You decide your margin. We pay via M-Pesa — directly to your phone.

That's side income that grows while you sleep.

The questions we know you're asking.
I'm not a 'professional' designer — is this for me?+
If you can create artwork people react to — digitally, hand-drawn, or AI-assisted — you qualify. Many of our designers started with phone-made art.
What if my designs don't sell?+
Then you've lost nothing — joining is free. Listing is free. You only see earnings when orders come in. The risk is zero.
How do I get paid?+
Via M-Pesa. We process payouts monthly (or when your balance hits KES 1,000+). Directly to your registered number.
What if a customer wants a custom design?+
You can accept custom commissions outside the platform — that's entirely your relationship. Design Yangu handles your standard product catalogue.
I'm still in uni / I don't have a business registration.+
You don't need one. Individuals can sign up and sell. We're here for the creative, not the corporate structure.
Kenya deserves to wear Kenyan creativity.
You deserve to earn from yours.
Right now, we're onboarding our first group of designers. If you've ever wanted to turn your designs into income — this is the moment. No capital. No stock. No guessing.
Free forever. No credit card. Set up in 10 minutes.
