Muzala, founder of Zalaz Interior Design & Décor, has reshaped the landscape of interior design in Zambia. Established in 2018, Zalaz began as a passion project and has grown into one of the country’s leading interior design firms. Muzala’s journey from a Quantity Surveyor to an accomplished interior designer exemplifies resilience, vision, and innovation.
After earning her degree and working at a QS consultancy firm for two years, Muzala gained extensive exposure to building projects and construction sites. Recognizing the untapped potential for high-quality, smart interiors, she began taking on pro bono projects, honing her design skills. She later joined Zambia’s second-largest interior fit-out company, where she contributed to significant projects such as the refurbishment of the Intercontinental Hotel. These experiences fueled her ambition to establish Zalaz, a company capable of delivering end-to-end interior solutions—from space design and 2D/3D rendering to BoQs and project execution.
Today, Zalaz employs over ten talented young Zambians, including artisans and designers, under Muzala's guidance. Her leadership has cultivated a vibrant and innovative team that continues to evolve, leaving a mark on homes, offices, and commercial spaces across Zambia.
In an industry that remains relatively niche in Zambia, Muzala’s achievements are extraordinary. She has not only built a successful business but has also contributed significantly to youth employment and skill development. By showcasing the possibilities of interior design and décor, Muzala has placed the industry on the national map, inspiring others to dream big.
Muzala’s pioneering spirit and commitment to excellence make her an outstanding candidate for this SME award. She embodies the transformative power of entrepreneurship, turning her passion into a thriving business that continues to impact lives and redefine standards in Zambia's interior design industry.
