Game-changing partnership powers Africa’s design future

A spark was reignited—and this time, it is setting a whole continent ablaze with possibility. Earlier this year, Brandmesha Solutions proudly signed on as the official co-organizer of Design Week Africa 2025, themed “Innovative Design for Quality Living.”

This landmark partnership is not just about logistics. It is about co-curating a design experience rooted in African ingenuity. As the former Editor-in-Chief of Interiors Magazine, producer of Ideal Interiors Expo, and passionate advocate for Africa’s creative economy, I saw this as a timely calling—and a thrilling opportunity to reimagine how design is celebrated on the continent.

Reuniting with George Washington Karani (President of DWA), Robert Yawe (Chairman), and Joel Waweru (a media visionary and educator) was nothing short of electric. There is an energy you feel when minds reconnect with shared purpose and legacy. Moreover, we are channelling this chemistry into DWA 2025.

Together, Brandmesha and DWA are building more than an event—we’re crafting a platform where storytelling meets city-building, where emerging talent engages with established industry giants, and where brands align with something greater than themselves: a design movement that dares to reimagine Africa’s future.

Whether you’re an investor, exhibitor, or public-sector leader, this is your moment to go beyond sponsorship. Join a transformative journey. Shape the narrative. Spark the shift. Be part of an experience where your brand isn’t just seen—it’s felt, remembered, and positioned as a catalyst for change.

Africa rises—not just with infrastructure, but with ideas. And through this partnership, we prove that African cities won’t just be built—they’ll be beautifully imagined, intelligently designed, and proudly African.

Now is the time to invest—not just in an event, but in a continent’s creative revolution.
