BE INSPIRED | FEATURE 06 Tanatswa Borerwe
In our latest interview, Architect and Illustrator Tanatswa Borerwe shares how hand-drawing, storytelling, and lived experience shape her work.
From Zimbabwe to North London, from sketchbooks to estate regeneration, Tanatswa’s journey reminds us that visual storytelling is beautiful and powerful. It invites conversation, builds trust, and makes design more human.
