About MashT
Thabisa is passionate about preserving traditional skills and helping other small businesses. She stumbled into the design industry impulsively by entering the 'Nando's Hot Young Designer Search' competition in 2015 - to her delight, she won the competition; however, for Thabisa, who had never designed anything before, the real prize was discovering her gift of creativity.
