Founding Directors

Nana-Kofi Appiah

The creative seed! Born and raised in Ghana. Gained his undergraduate degree in Politics, History and Economics from the University of Toronto where he also successfully imported Ghanaian artwork in his first outing as a “culture-preneur”. Nana-Kofi set up the first version of the Aspecks website in 2006 and has since sought the means to create art in his own style and combine his passion for creativity with his concerns for social justice and equality. He also works full time as a policy officer for public affairs consultancy Cogitamus Ltd.

Paul Beckford

Met Mr Appiah in 2005 at the start of an MSc in Global Politics and International Relations from the University of Southampton and this chance meeting of minds ultimately resulted in the two co-founding Aspecks Ltd in 2007. Paul has been talking about it ever since to everyone who will listen and even those who will not! He works full time as a public affairs consultant for Cogitamus Ltd and is a member of the Young Consultants Committee of the Association of Professional Political Consultants.
