About dEX Ghana
We’re a design foundation based in Accra. We equip and connect designers, educators, and innovators across Africa through experiences, research, and collaboration. Our work draws from the cultures, contexts, and craft traditions that make African design distinct. And we give the community a platform to keep pushing it forward.
