Bobby Kolade and Samuel Oteng are both designers with a similar journey, on different ends of the continent. 

Located in Accra, Sammy changed his direction as a designer after witnessing heavy rains and the clothing waste in the puddles of Kantamanto market - realising that as a designer, all he was bound to produce was more waste. Bobby is a former luxury designer who was no longer satisfied with the beast he was feeding. 

In conversation, both of them share the stories that made them realise they could pivot, and make change using the resources around them for more contientious and sustainable creation.
