About

The Project 
This project has evolved out of a mission to create a utopian vision of Accra as the capital city of Ghana. Our idea is to spark a chain reaction that will systematically imbibe the concept of utopia into the new Ghanaian through a series of collaborative projects by Ghanaian creatives towards creating realistic depictions of what we want our city to look like in the future.
While the concept of utopia somewhat exists in our traditional folklore and culture, it largely remains oral and in very few cases in volumes of written material in very abstract form. Our mission hear is to spark a whole new generation of forward thinking Ghanaians who are constantly looking to the future with optimism and a drive to create a better future for ourselves and most importantly, future Generations.
We do this through series of creative projects that involve creatives from across the spectrum of creative disciplines and also taking into considerations developmental trends in all aspects of life. These projects which are largely artistic depictions are intended to spark the discourse which will eventually lead to real life projects that will see our utopian vision of Accra and essentially Ghana and Africa at large come to fruition. 
About me
I hail from Wa, in the Upper-West Region of Ghana, studied architecture and i'm currently pursuing an Mphil. in Urban design at the KNUST, Ghana. I co-founded DZYN Studios in 2007,an architecture visualization and graphic design company based in Ghana.
I am currently involved in various projects towards sparking a creating revolution in Ghana because i believe creativity and design are the answers to most of our national development issues. I am very passionate about the environment and anything related to it and this passion led to me pursuing Urban Design as a discipline because i believe that it is only when we have a sound urban environment that we can live our lives to their full potential.  I am a very optimistic Ghanaian, I believe that we can make this country into a modern utopia in the next ten years as long as we harness Ghanaian creativity at its full potential and this is what we hope to achieve with this and other projects.
