Bomu Home Team Consultant

In the Akan language spoken in Ghana (Twi), bo mu means to “bring together.” At Bomu, a company specializing in project organization, event planning, and physical/interior design, our goal is to do just that: bring people together by aligning your vision with our expertise. We consider ourselves a collective–– one that works closely with our talented partners, specializing in versatile fields. Beyond our visionary work in the United States, Bomu remains rooted in a global community. Bomu Home is comprised of handmade products from the diverse regions of our home in Ghana. Our artisanal products exhibit the character, vitality, and originality of African design, while simultaneously nurturing creative and financial opportunities for the communities who lovingly craft and labor over each piece. Each purchase you make from our store supports local Ghanaian craftspeople and woodworkers. Our goal is to supply Ghanaian communities with necessities of the body and soul, including but not limited to clean water, educational resources, and recreational entertainment. Bomu remains conscious and adamant about acknowledging cultural exploitation and the lack of African representation in design industries. Show less
