About dEX Ghana
We started as Artmosphere in 2018. One day. 70+ designers in a room in Accra, talking shop. Seven years on, we’re Ghana’s largest design community. We run year-round programmes in education, community, research, and advocacy. We exist because African design deserves infrastructure that reflects the richness of its culture, context, and ambition. And the community behind it deserves somewhere to belong. Six conferences. Over 10,000 designers reached. Still growing.
Our mission
We’re shaping the future of African creativity through design. That means equipping designers with the tools, knowledge, and community they need to do work that’s rooted in culture.
Our vision
We want to be Africa’s leading design community. A place where designers across the continent find the support they need to build sustainable practices and meaningful careers.
