The people behind Closet Heritage
We noticed people owned more clothes than ever but felt like they had nothing to wear. So we built something to fix that.
CEO & Co-Founder
Sombang Patience Nyolengma
Patience saw the disconnect firsthand — overflowing wardrobes, yet the daily frustration of having "nothing to wear." She co-created Closet Heritage to change that relationship.
She leads business strategy, branding, and product direction — making sure every feature is rooted in how people actually think about getting dressed, not how technologists assume they do.
CTO & Co-Founder
Ryan Tangu Mbun Tangwe
Ryan co-created Closet Heritage and designed the entire system from scratch — the algorithms that plan outfits around your schedule and preferences, the AI that recognizes and tags every item from a single photo, and the virtual try-on that lets you see it all on yourself before getting dressed.
He leads engineering, architecture, and product design — obsessed with making powerful technology feel effortless.
Our Mission
To create simple, thoughtful experiences that help people make better choices with confidence — starting with the clothes they already own.
