As I delve deeper into the world of design, my understanding of its vast possibilities expands. It is no longer restricted to the design of products, furniture, fashion, or typography but is inextricably interwoven to photography, art, architecture, and even urbanism. Through the affinity and exploration of the latter a couple of questions arise: What can design provide in the face of the digital revolution and new production methods like 3D printing, crowdsourcing, and the sharing economy? What should it do now that Le Corbusier's ideal of mass manufacturing has resulted in a global pollution pandemic? I am passionate about African contemporary design and committed to exploring the broader potential of design in today’s era, where sustainability, ecological harmony, cultural heritage, and technology intersect across all disciplines.
