“Losing 5M Changed My Life As a Designer”- Derrick North | Kampala Mode Satisfashion UGTV

In this episode of Kampala Mode, we chat with Derrick North, the creative force behind North Designs 256. He shares how he transitioned from a corporate 9–5 to becoming a full-time suit designer, following his passion for fashion. Derrick’s journey took a dramatic turn when he missed out on a 5M job from a regular client—more than he ever made in his office role—which pushed him to finally take the leap into self-employment. Now, Derrick enjoys the freedom and fulfillment that come with running his own business, creating bespoke suits for Kampala’s style-savvy. His story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, missed opportunities can open the door to bigger dreams. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will make you rethink the meaning of work, passion, and success.
