About Us

Huema Design is a multidisciplinary design house based in Kampala Uganda, pioneering a new era of African design that is deeply rooted in contextuality and materiality.

Founded by Kenneth Kanaabi, Huema bridges the traditions of African heritage with the possibilities of modern innovation. Our philosophy is simple yet profound: we believe that design should not only be beautiful, but meaningful, sustainable, and culturally relevant. Every project we undertake draws inspiration from place, people, history, and nature — reimagined through a contemporary lens.

At Huema, we design across disciplines — from product and spatial design to branding and storytelling — crafting work that speaks globally while remaining grounded in local narratives.

Our mission is to cultivate a generation of designers, thinkers, and makers who create from a place of deep understanding — not just of form and function, but of culture and meaning. Through our studio, we aim to spark a global movement that sees Africa not as a trend, but as a timeless source of design wisdom.
