Design should be about storytelling, evoking emotion, and problem-solving, three principles that are crucially abide by in Somto Ogah’s studio and practice. Somto Ogah is an African American industrial designer who currently attends Drexel University. Somto is very immersed in the Fashion, Art- History & Interior Design field. With his latest project 48 Records, Somto encapsulates the nostalgia of kids playing in the grass and the sensual joy that is derived from music and merges them to create a homely vinyl holder. How does the material of the product make the user feel? How do the colors visually transcend to the user? these are all questions that he asks himself during the pilot of his designs. Subsequently led to the creation of intentional and experimental designs.
