The two designers have successfully engendered social change while creating  more inclusive places for people to live, work, and play.

Lagos-based Oshinowo is, in addition to practising architecture, also a designer, creative entrepreneur, public speaker and author who  weaves  identity and culture into her work. She  graduated from Kingston College, London, and equally holds a  Master’s degree in Urban designs from Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London.

Mpahlwa on his part is an accomplished architect; one of South Africa’s earliest black students permitted to study the course. He uses his life’s journey as a blueprint to uplift those in need in post-apartheid South Africa.
