Who are we?

We are a human centered design collective that deals with community driven projects to achieve a sustainable solution. Sounds a little complicated huh.

But really, we just like to do sustainable stuff with the communities! Sounds much better.

Here's a little story about how we came up with our name.

ETHNO + DESIGN = ETHNODESIGN

why 'ETHNO':

Ethno is simply people. We love people and we are a human centered design collective. We work with all races, tribes, genders and communities. We believe that Africa has the potential to create ground breaking sustainable solutions so we should give Africa a chance and a seat at the table.

why 'design':

Design is the backbone of how we choose to tackle the world's problems. This is a powerful tool that affects more than one person hence making it the perfect tool to tackle various SDG's. We believe design is for everyone and does not discriminate.

This 'x' in dXsign is our commitment to serving everyone regardless of their race, background, religion, community, gender and sexual identity. We subscribe to one tribe. Human.
