Africa has never lacked creativity, craftsmanship or innovation. What it has lacked is a global platform that celebrates its contribution, with the visibility and recognition it deserves.
Africa Design Week is a love letter to my heritage and a platform created to champion African and diaspora designers, artists, architects and makers on the world stage. After 20 years working across the global design industry, I saw first-hand the extraordinary talent shaping our industry, yet too often without the recognition it deserves.
Our vision is simple, to create opportunities, spark meaningful collaborations, and position African design where it belongs at the forefront of the global creative conversation.
Let's build the future of African design.
