Manage episode 282541199 series 2805200
Abigail thrives on Creativity! As a practicing fine artist, who then studied architecture from Makerere University in Kampala Uganda, worked and lived in both Europe and Africa, she is extremely passionate about the role design plays in innovatively creating order and solving many of the world's complexities. She currently serves as Head of Design at Design without Borders, as well as Director on the Board, Africa Office, one of the first of its kind Industrial design studio based in Kampala.
A core part of her practice is rooted in co-design, a fundamental approach used to effectively respond to people’s needs during the creation of innovative products, services, or spaces. Over the past 7 years she has lead design projects with foundations, public and private sector institutions, humanitarian agencies, and social enterprises; and spoken widely on the value of design in the fast-growing African context.
Through these collaborations, she has worked on projects such as the redesign of sanitation and housing solutions for slum communities in Kampala; developed financial literacy and reproductive health tools for the empowerment of rural communities in Uganda, and undertaken clinical studies for the introduction of a medical device for effective IV therapy for children.
