Architect | Hyperrealism Artist | Co-Founder & Lead Animator, Pango

Joseph is a Kenyan-British architect currently based in London, working at Foster + Partners, where he specializes in high-end projects across the globe. Beyond architecture, he is a Hyperrealism Artist and the Co-Founder & Lead Animator of Pango, a venture born from his deep passion for art and film.

His artistic breakthrough came in 2013, when his graphite pieces, "Against All Odds" and “Katrina”, were exhibited at Cork Street Galleries in London, marking his entry into the global art scene. This success became a gateway to his architectural journey, leading him to Dawood University, where he honed his creative design skills. His talent was quickly recognized, earning him his first international win and global editorial debut in just his third year of study.

Joseph has worked as an architect in Pakistan and Kenya, handling high-profile residential, commercial, and recreational projects. Expanding his expertise, he completed the Harvard GSD program on ‘The Architectural Imagination’, fueling his ambition to refine his architectural practice into an academic theory. This drive led him to pursue a Master’s in Architecture at the University of Sheffield, where he deepened his focus on innovative and socially responsive design.

Now in his fourth year at Foster + Partners, Joseph continues to work on prestigious international projects, pushing the boundaries of architectural innovation while staying true to his artistic roots.
