Glorinah Khutso Mabaso is a South African Interior Designer who found her purpose in Pattern and Product Design. She is also the Founder and Creative Director of a Pan-African brand, RENAISSANCE DESIGN. Glorinah was born in Limpopo, spent her early childhood in Phokwane until the age of 3, and grew up in the city of Pretoria. Even though living in the city contributed to her creative perspective and diverse cultural experiences, Glorinah has always remained rooted. As an academic design thinker with a passion to re-awaken the ancient cultural knowledge of the African continent, she has taken on the challenge of becoming the mouthpiece to the ancient world, using pattern design as her chosen visual language. Through conceptualising and designing patterns that evoke emotions and preserve heritage, she is able to present products that act as modern African living archives.
