I was so honored when AphroChic (Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason, also authors of Remix) hit me up to create a watercolor wallpaper design featuring Rwandan women in traditional headscarves. The paper, available in shades of blue, yellow, and coral, is dedicated to the women of Rwanda, with 10% of the proceeds from the sale of each roll being donated to benefit Indego Africa’s Leadership Academy, a ground-breaking education initiative offering advanced business training to women in Africa free of charge. The Rwanda collection will be available Winter 2015.
It was featured this weekend in LA at the first African-American designer show house in over a decade, the Helms REMIX Pop-Up Home, combining products from some of LA’s most popular home decor stores with AphroChic’s signature cultural design aesthetic to create a modern space with soulful style.
