Print and design: The pressure is high, but the cash is worth it

Carol Njau, Ecomedia director and business development manager

She studied biology in university and got a job as a lab assistant. Four years later, she finally accepted that she was in the wrong profession and walked out of her job without a fall-back plan or an idea of what the future would bring her.

Four months later, Carol Njau joined design, print and branding company, Ecomedia, to run the administrative side of things. Today, the 38-year-old is a director and head of business development at the firm. She talks to Hustle about finding a new path and excelling at it.
