Chrissa Amuah, a versatile designer, serves as the Founder and Creative Director of AMWA Designs, a high-end homeware and interior decor brand infused with Adinkra symbolism. While her heritage spans Ghana, Benin, and Togo, her primary inspiration stems from Ghana. She delves into the Adinkra Symbols, emphasizing how they grant her designs enduring significance, believing that meaningful creations have a longer-lasting impact. Chrissa's impressive portfolio encompasses diverse projects, including Amplify, the Ghana Pavilion, and the 2021 London Design Biennale hosted at Somerset House. Yet, her aspirations extend beyond personal success. She aspires to showcase African talent on a global stage, thereby introducing Africa to the world. This mission is embodied in her brainchild, Africa by Design, which has already exhibited in five cities across four continents since its inception. This is the 27th episode under the ‘Shifting Narratives’ program supported by the British Council SSA Arts. *For the best experience, please use a headset/earphones.
