I stopped working as an assistant accountant at a small petroleum company, and the main reason for leaving was because it just didn't have a diverse workforce. I am a firm believer that diversity is strength and the best learning comes from people from different backgrounds, cultures and peoples.
So I left my job and started working on a passion project, our fashion brand. I wanted to use tech to make our brand a little more interactive so a friend of mine and I started watching Youtube videos and we built a very simple logo scan augmented reality app. It was not great but i for one was still proud as I am not the most tech inclined person hahaha, it was fun and honestly that led to more curiosity. I love executing and seeing a vision achieved and so I went on and on and on.
Now, we have since carried on working on the app. We now growing with a proper team and looking to launch our app at the end of August hopefully. Today I am encouraged and want to encourage someone else to keep going. You know why you started so don't give up.
