The Lapalala Biodiversity Centre was a transformative project that allowed me to explore the profound impact design can have on its visitors. Tasked with enhancing learning experiences, fostering connections with nature, and promoting sustainability, the design drew inspiration from the natural forms of termite mounds, symbolising adaptability and harmony.

I experimented with geometry to seamlessly connect the existing structure with a new, organic design, balancing tradition with innovation. The minimalist approach reflected the modern world while ensuring functionality and timelessness. The project encouraged curiosity, inviting visitors to explore and discover as they moved through the space.

This experience shaped my design language, pushing me beyond limitations to create a space that inspires and uplifts while respecting its natural surroundings. It reaffirmed my commitment to crafting design that educates, connects, and leaves a lasting impression.

The Ula Craft Project, inspired by the ethos of Amarula, became a defining moment in my design journey, offering an opportunity to celebrate African heritage while embracing sustainability and community empowerment. Rooted in the values of the marula tree, Amarula’s philosophy emphasises the interconnectedness of ecosystems, from the earth that nurtures the tree to the people and wildlife that benefit from its bounty. This ethos shaped the foundation of the project, aligning design with storytelling, sustainability, and cultural pride.

The project brief challenged me to create a collection of craft-inspired designs that reflected Amarula’s commitment to African heritage, wildlife conservation, and community upliftment. Drawing from the marula tree’s significance, I designed pieces that embodied the organic beauty, generosity, and resilience of African traditions. By incorporating sustainably harvested materials and exploring forms inspired by the natural world, the project became a celebration of the unique origins of Amarula and its broader mission.

This experience deepened my understanding of how design can transcend aesthetics to become a tool for storytelling and impact. It allowed me to refine my design language, incorporating themes of authenticity, sustainability, and social responsibility. The Ula Craft Project reaffirmed my belief in the power of design to honour cultural narratives, foster environmental consciousness, and connect people to the stories behind the spaces and products they inhabit.
