2 HBCU Architecture Grads Sharing Their Love of Travel, Creativity, and Grounding
I’m KOBI
A creative director and experiential designer who believes creativity should feel like freedom. I’ve been to 18 countries across 4 continents, and every place I’ve visited has reminded me that connection and creativity look different everywhere, but they always start with how we feel.
I earned my master’s in architecture from Hampton University in 2020 and stepped into the corporate world during one of the most uncertain times we’ve ever lived through. I fell into the rat race fast, chasing deadlines, ignoring burnout, and losing touch with the joy that made me want to design in the first place.
Eventually I knew I needed to build something different. That’s how SheDesignsWorldwide was born, a global creative community for artists who are ready to slow down, travel intentionally, and reconnect with what inspires them.
I’ve always loved wellness, DJing, and curating spaces that make people feel at home within themselves. My goal is to keep designing experiences that remind creatives they don’t just have to fit into the world, they can design their own.
I’m Madison
Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of traveling the world in search of spiritual answers and creative inspiration. That curiosity has taken me to over a dozen countries across three continents—each one expanding my understanding of art, culture, and connection. After graduating in 2020, I began my career in architecture, a field that lets me design spaces with meaning and purpose. Along the way, I’ve stayed true to my creative roots—building a spiritual shop that sold crystals and incense, offering my artwork and postpartum journals online, and sharing my love for cooking through my food page.
Through all of these ventures, one thing has remained constant: my belief that travel opens the heart and fuels creativity. That’s why Kobi and I started this group travel experience—to bring together other creatives who crave inspiration through culture, community, and exploration. After journeying the world together twice already, we’re excited to continue creating unforgettable adventures that nourish both the soul and the imagination.
