With a deep understanding of the craft cultivated through years of assisting her mother, a skilled tailor, Mercy developed a unique perspective and appreciation for garment construction. After completing her education in clothing technologies and bridal wear, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and professional growth, spending years refining her designs in Zimbabwe before relocating to South Africa in 2008.
Despite facing initial challenges, Mercy's tenacity remained unyielding, propelling her to take the leap and establish her own business, Tasmer Designs, in 2017.
