About

Artist Statement

Visually striking, yet effortlessly functional in any modern space, my work is rooted in Africa’s rich cultural heritage. I aim to cultivate a lifelong appreciation for elevated modern African design, and to inspire a deeper and fuller connection to the continent. I weave the continent’s nature, art, and history within each piece I produce. Every design tells a unique story, with no detail overlooked or undervalued.
