Baraka Amunga on his development in Kenya’s design industry | I Know Great People

About a year ago I was telling my cousin Baraka about 1 Million Thriving Artists, a Creative Collaboration Community I was getting going here in Kenya, which led to him telling me he had been part of founding The Art Directors of Kenya which I had joined on Facebook over a decade ago. Finding that out I wanted to organize a conversation where I could pick his mind abut that process for to see how we could avoid certain challenges in 1MTA. Now we finally linked up for I Know Great people and it is another great conversation!

Wide ranging conversation about his design and professional history, some family lore, documentary about Kenya’s design Industry, planting seeds for future collaboration and much more. Confident that your enjoying it even a fraction of the amount I had having it, that will be a good investment of time.
