  • Growing up in a Nigerian household, it was emphasized to us to either become an engineer, a doctor, or a lawyer.
  • Out of all my siblings who are engineers, I was the only one who studied architecture.
  • In the firms I was working in, I felt that we were catering to the elites, and I felt that I needed to do something that helps an everyday individual, like a homeowner, or someone who just needs someone to come into their house and renovate their bathroom.
  • So I decided to start Jintero.
  • My name is Shisa Mukwege.
  • I am thirty five years old, and I make one hundred sixty three thousand dollars a year as an architectural designer.
  • So Jintero basically is a consulting firm where we hire architects, interior designers, graphic designers, and photo editors.
  • Last year, Jintero Design brought in more than four hundred thousand dollars in revenue.
  • Right now, I have about sixty clients in the US.
  • Right now, I don't actually have a physical office.
  • I just use my home office.

  • My first architectural job was at Perkins Eastman, which is the largest architectural firm in New York.
  • It was mainly a nine to five job, but as I started to receive more responsibilities, I noticed that I would be doing like a twelve hour shift.
  • I would come home and there was no daylight.
  • I needed a change in lifestyle, so I decided to move to the public sector.
  • So my husband and I, we share a joint account, and the way we approach finances in our household is that he takes care of the investments accounts for himself and our children, and then I take care of the childcare expenses and investments for myself as well.

  • I honestly believe in the idea of living within your means.
  • And I'm also aware that, you know, there are taxes that you have to pay.
  • So a lot of the money that I saved was not only for the business, but also for my children and our future goals, and also a separate amount for coming taxes.
  • As a senior architect at Port Authority, I mainly do infrastructure projects, which include train stations and airports.
  • One of the projects that I worked on is the JFK Terminal One project.
  • The main project that I have now is a train station, the Harrison Project in New Jersey.
  • One thing my parents always told me is that if you're going to purchase a home and one of your spouses dies, one of you have to be able to cover the mortgage.
  • At that moment, I felt that my income at Port Authority was not sufficient enough to cover the mortgage.
  • My idea was that, okay, let me take a little project here and there and earn some extra income.
  • So as I was taking a bunch of side gigs, I remember the first project I had was like twenty dollars and this is more about graphic design where I'm creating ads for my first client which was Indeed.com.

  • Some architectural firms spend money on renderings, but a lot of times those renderings are very conceptual.
  • I feel that my company is different.
  • It's photorealistic.
  • It actually looks real.
  • So every little thing that you see in the rendering, you can actually go to the store and buy it.
  • And it's also based off your actual dimensions of your space.
  • In the next few years, I'm hoping that Jintero will grow as a business and we will create partnerships with developers in New York, New Jersey, or anywhere else in the United States.
  • I'm hoping that, you know, my husband and I will be able to build our home in the next year or two.
