Meet the Ghanaian Entrepreneur Whose Dad Trained Her to Be a Carpenter

Adzigbli “Nana” Ama Comfort, a furniture architect and designer from Ghana, has become famous for her skills and creativity in the field of carpentry – a male dominated industry. Her dad trained her before he died, and now she is the CEO and founder of Namas Decor GH – one of the fastest growing furniture design shops in the world!
Nana, who is from Ghana, has always dreamed of becoming a lawyer since she was a young child. As a young adult, she also experimented with various career opportunities in modeling, acting, being a television personality, and marketing but she felt like those could not give her the satisfaction she wanted or even generate enough profit for her and her family.

That’s when she remembered what her father told her before he died. “He said that I will never be successful in any career aside carpentry,” she said in an interview with Ghanaian blogger, Edward Asare. “He said I was born to lead the feminine generation into creativity.”

That’s when she decided to venture into carpentry with the knowledge and training she received from helping her father, who was a carpenter himself. She now runs one of the fastest growing carpentry and furniture design shops in the world.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
