I am a Kenyan interior designer, TEDx speaker, EDGE Expert and internationally recognised advocate for biophilic design. My work explores how nature, culture, ancestral knowledge and the built environment can come together to create healthier, more beautiful and life-giving places.

I have spent years developing African biophilia as both a design practice and a way of remembering. I believe biophilia is not something Africa needs to import. It is a homecoming to knowledge already held within our landscapes, cultures, communities and ways of living.

My work spans design, education, policy, storytelling and movement-building. I have contributed to national conversations on green buildings, healthy indoor environments and nature-based solutions, while helping to advance the inclusion of biophilic design within Kenya’s building standards and sustainability frameworks.
