I solve problems through design
My journey into Product Design started from the need to understand the ‘WHY' behind my designs. My intentions, why I made certain decisions to arrive at an outcome - My curiosity helped me survive as a teenager; the urge to explore and seek novelty kept me vigilant and always seeking to gain knowledge about my constantly changing environment..
As a self-taught designer, I learned that having a platform to question and further ideas, harnesses greater creativity. Combining art and technology, I found a way to express myself by creating great experiences through a digital product and having empathy for people’s need through design thinking.
Born & raised in Ghana
I derive inspiration from my tribe’s visual symbol collection called ADINKRA. They are visual symbols with historical and philosophical significance from the Kingdom of Asante.
I identify with one symbol in particular: Dame-dame. The literal meaning of Dame-Dame is chequered or checkered as in the pattern on a chess or a draughts board. A symbol of intelligence, ingenuity, and strategy.
