Co-creating changemaking African Brands​

I collaborate with African-based social enterprises and changemakers to build powerful brands that amplify their impact and inspire change.

Africans are the experts on Africa

We’re the best people to solve the challenges we face in our communities, countries and the continent. I’ve worked with these kick-ass people doing cool stuff and their brands.
