WORK HISTORY
Founder & Creative Director @African Heritage Collection
Bristol, CT, US
African Heritage Collection was launched with a mission to market exquisite hand-carved furnishings and decorating accents from Ghana using centuries-old world class craftsmanship. The driving force was my passion to provide a much needed platform for many indigenous skilled carvers to support their families and help sustain their trade and the environment. That also gave me an opportunity to inform, educate and share the rich history and culture of Ghana through its artisans’ craftsmanship.

The carving is of museum quality and a timeless piece of Art for generations. THERE\'S MORE - I work with clients to understand the accomplishments of the honorees and help select the Awards that best fit the occasion.
