I'm a embroidery artist based in Adama. I've been making things since 1992 and I still get excited when a new batch of materials arrives.
Most of my work is inspired by the people on my bus route. I fix old bicycles.

What gifts mean to Dereje: I'd put a gift toward a kiln repair. It's been a long time coming.
