I was born on March 20, 1960. After completing my elementary education in 1975, I joined my late uncle, Alhaji Adamu Osmanu, and started trading in handicrafts. My uncle obtained the arts and craft pieces and my cousins and I sold them. Through this exercise, I learned to polish brass and even used a chisel to refine carvings before displaying them for sale.
After this, I became a self-taught woodcarver. My creations are basically both decorative and utilitarian. My materials come from our environment, and I use various types of wood and plate to form different designs.
"In 1986, I was able to craft and sell my designs in the Accra Arts Centre. In 1992, I registered with Ghana Export Promotion Council and feel proud to have shown my designs in Germany, the U.S.A, South Africa and Namibia."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.
Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.
Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.
The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
