Behind every print,
there are hands.
A close-knit studio of artisans, colourists and printmakers turning cloth into stories — one considered impression at a time.
We grow people.
Then craft grows
through them.
Welcome to the heart and soul of Dragonfly Designs – the incredible individuals who make up our passionate team. With some of us having journeyed alongside the brand for over a decade, and collectively boasting over 25 years of experience in the intricate art of screen printing, we’re not just colleagues; we’re a family.
From humble beginnings, many of us have honed our craft from starting out cleaning screens, to mastering every facet of the screen printing process. Our warm and nurturing approach has allowed us to flourish, cultivating talents and skills that shine through every exquisite print we produce.

Crafted under the
Nairobi sun.
Our garden studio uses solar panels, rainwater harvesting and an energy-efficient tunnel dryer. We source EU-standard pigments and reuse wooden screen frames — some for over 25 years.
The studio is part
of the story.
Tucked away in the green of Karen, our working studio is where ideas, colour and craft meet. Visit us, bring a brief, or simply begin a conversation.
Craft is taught
shoulder to shoulder.
New team members begin by cleaning screens and preparing cloth. Responsibility grows with confidence, until an apprentice becomes a printer trusted with colour, registration and finish.
