Porota

I am an impact design enthusiast passionate about a more equitable and just Africa. A firm believer in the potential and power of design processes and products to promote economic stimuli especially in under-served communities.

An alumnus of the African Design Centre in Kigali, a fellowship program by MASS Design Group that trains and empowers the youth to become creative design leaders, am currently working as a Designer at BuildX Studio that envisions a world made for people and planet by creating the buildings of a radically better tomorrow.

When establishing a design, every architect will consider what exactly they want to communicate by it.

Personally I search the Purpose of a design.

It is to decide on a strong focal point that will drive all the architectural system, draw everybody’s attention and create that perfect balance and rythm. This purpose or concept reflects in the design creating this way new buildings and the spaces in and around them. A living organism!
