Robyn Nabegeyo is married to painter Mukguddu Nabegeyo, and she and her co-wife Ganbaladj have collaborated on many works including feathered string bags. Their basket forms, with an open coiled structure, are also closely related.

Old people taught her how to weave baskets, dilly bags, baby baskets and Marebu. Robyn used to sit beside the old people and watch them as they weaved.

Robyn has 5 children; Timothy, Antina, Meshak, Tammy and Pearl.
