Our Story
KIOKO’s official story began in 2019, shaped by the visionary mind of Nyakio Marie, who transitioned from a distinguished career in the United States Marine Corps to full-time entrepreneurship. Amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, while in a supervisory GS12/13 role, Nyakio realized her true calling was in achieving a work-life balance, especially with her family. With three children, including a newborn, she made the bold decision to focus solely on her business, transforming KIOKO® into a burgeoning full-time apparel and printing venture.
Nyakio’s educational background, with an undergraduate degree from Penn State University and a graduate degree from Georgetown, combined with certifications as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt, deeply inform the operational excellence at KIOKO®. Her 20 years of experience in graphic design significantly enhances our creative processes, allowing us to offer uniquely tailored designs that cater to a diverse client base—from individual buyers and solopreneurs to corporate giants and federal agencies.
At Kioko®, we take pride in our mastery of various garment decoration techniques such as Direct-To-Garment, Direct-To-Film, Embroidery, and Sublimation. Our commitment to excellence is evident not just in our printing but in the entire design process. We offer free expert art assistance, user-friendly design templates, and a meticulous proofing process to ensure every custom design—whether for a single t-shirt or thousands—reaches our high standards of perfection.
As we look to the future, KIOKO® aims to continue growing, innovating, and leading in the custom apparel industry. Our goal is to maintain our commitment to quality and service, ensuring every piece we create is a testament to our passion for unique design and customer satisfaction. Choose Kioko Clothing Company for unparalleled quality and a personal touch in every garment.
