At the heart of Glenn Lewis Design lies a story of unwavering passion, pioneering innovation, and a deep reverence for cultural heritage. Founded by Glenn Lewis, a visionary former professor of industrial design, our company stands as a testament to his groundbreaking work in computer-aided design for product design, jewellery design, fine art prints and digital sculpting.
With an insatiable curiosity and a drive to push boundaries, his journey has taken him from the hallowed halls of major universities in the U.S. and West Africa, where he shared his expertise in product and computer-aided design, to the cutting edge of the industry as an early adopter of 3D printing and jewellery design with Gemvision Matrix, the world's leading jewellery design software.
But it was a fateful trip to Ghana, West Africa, that ignited a spark in Glenn's soul. The mesmerizing Adinkra symbols of the Akan people captured his imagination, setting him on a path of cultural discovery and artistic expression. Driven by a desire to preserve and celebrate this rich heritage, Glenn created a digital version of the Adinkra symbol font, a gift he bestowed upon schools, technical institutes, and universities across Ghana.
As Glenn immersed himself in the vibrant tapestry of Ghanaian culture, his passion for jewellery design flourished. In 2009, he was bestowed the honour of designing the gold medallion commemorating the 10th anniversary of the enstoolment of Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, the 16th Asantehene, a commission that flowed through Aid to Artisans Ghana (ATAG). This transformative experience led to the birth of Innokofa, Ltd., a jewellery design company dedicated to showcasing the timeless beauty of the Adinkra symbols of the Akan.
Over the past decade, Glenn's creative vision has expanded, embracing bronze sculpture, textiles, and fine art prints, each a stunning testament to his versatility and skill. Yet, it is in the realm of Bespoke Jewellery design where his passion truly shines. With meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to understanding each client's unique story, Glenn crafts jewellery that is not merely ornamental, but a reflection of the wearer's essence.
