Recycled Glass Beaded Bracelet from Ghana 'Stand Out' Item ID: 2671806565

I am a designer born in 1973. My friends describe me as a dancer, singer and storyteller. I always laugh at myself.

I became interested in leatherwork while studying ethnomusicology. I enjoy working in different materials, using my hands to create joy. I learned from a number of teachers and mentors. Although I teach others, mastering my art is a continuous learning process.

My family helps me, but I do the designing myself and my favorite part is combining materials. I enjoy adapting to new ones. I am working in a sustainable design center that has a training center for artists and we teach skills to people with physical disabilities.

I get inspiration from nature and sharing creative ideas with other people. I hope to establish a center for sustainable and creative design for all of Africa based in Accra.
