“Founded in 2021 by human-computer interaction researcher Kayla Love, Kongo Square Studio is not easily slotted into industry norms. Operating as a decentralized, nomadic practice, the studio blends design research, ethical strategy, and ancestral technologies to support visionaries working at the intersection of culture, community, and liberation. Among its signature offerings is Kodex Noire, designed to serve nomads of colour, creatives in exile, and practitioners in the diaspora. Kongo Square isn’t just a design studio. It’s part speculative lab, part sanctuary, part compass.”
