Kimberly Zola

Germany (DE, EN, FR)

Hi, my name is Kimberly, I am 25 years old and currently living in Bielefeld, Germany. My father is Congolese and my mother is German. I'm currently working on my bachelor's degree and working on my start-up, a fashion brand called zoule.studio. We plan to produce our collection in South Africa. Since June 2019 I have been working as a freelance designer for entrepreneurs and individual customers as a graphic designer, as an app designer and as a fashion designer. I like to work with my hands, with different materials and I like to learn new techniques. That's why I'm not focused on fashion and am open to getting to know many other areas.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
