Joseph's Story

Having been passionate about photography since a young age, starting a side hustle doing just that was a natural decision for Joseph. But it was only later that this after-work hobby turned into a full-fledged career. 
​
After graduating from USIU Africa with a Bachelor of Science in International Business Administration, Joseph accepted a position within a company working in marketing. There, he got the opportunity to operate the company’s camera; and so, as Joseph got more exposure to the world of professional photography, his desire to launch his own business grew. 

Finally, in 2015, he decided to quit his day job and focus full-time on developing his small business, House of Asaa.​ Today, House of Asaa specializes in event photography and videography. Joseph hopes to expand his services to include event management, makeup, and fashion in the next few years. In the meantime, with his Mkono loan, he was able to upgrade his gear which allowed him to produce higher quality content for his clients. As a participant in Mkono’s mentorship program, Joseph was also able to set up a concrete business plan for the near future.

In his free time, Joseph loves to travel, explore different dining experiences, and watch movies. His entrepreneurial journey and hobbies definitely reflect his adventurous spirit!
