My name is Lawrence and I am a Ugandan designer trained in industrial/product design and architecture. After completing architecture in 2015 and out of the desire to apply a more interdisciplinary approach to design, I joined Design without Borders’ newly opened product/service design office in Kampala - before leaving briefly in 2016 to complete a Specializing Master in Industrial Design for Architecture (MID4A) at the Polytechnic in Milan. While in Milan, I enriched my experience working at the Industrial design and architecture office Bertone, an office also credited for its work in the transportation and automotive design industry.

Since returning to Kampala, I have rejoined my former team at Design without Borders working with them to apply design as a tool for sustainable development while also continuing to pursue my vision of a design industry truly fueled by an indigenous knowledge of craft, production and materials.
