“I’m in love with the idea that the next sentence I’m going to read – or the next visual I will see – will be new to me and I explore ways to bring the ideas into my design aesthetic, all influenced by my love for luxury, colour, travel and global trends,” says Mali Langa on her design style.
With the changing world we are experiencing, Mali Langa is making an effort to be a notable example to other business professionals through exploring new business ventures. Being a fervent believer in innovation through collaboration, she believes that success comes through collaborative efforts,
