Conference Talks | Sasha Ofori

IN PRESS

Throughout my career, I've had the honour of speaking at conferences across and beyond Africa, sharing insights on practising Design Thinking and Human-Centered Design in the agricultural domain. My talks also revolve around teaching and training of these methodologies to both designers and non-designers at YUX Design.

I'm always eager to learn and connect with professionals in this space. If you have an opportunity, feel free to contact me here.
