Lesego Lekgoe is a South African multidisciplinary artist, creative entrepreneur, and the founder of Sekgosi—a brand specializing in bespoke, hand-beaded contemporary African luxury jewellery.

Originally from Mamelodi, Pretoria, Lesego is a self-taught mixed media and jewelry artist. Her work through Sekgosi (formerly known as FANTACEPTS/JEAN) seamlessly incorporates cultural storytelling through traditional seed beads (Tamala or Tan kraal) and natural elements, keeping Batswana heritage and traditions alive through contemporary design.

Alongside her primary focus on jewellery and fashion, Lesego is an all-around creative working as a commercial model, lifestyle creator, and creative director from her studio at the Creative Uprising Hub at Constitution Hill.

Deeply passionate about art and authentic self-expression, Lesego engages with creative concepts that create new opportunities while honouring her spiritual journey and personal purpose. Beyond crafting unique luxury pieces, her core mission is to share her knowledge and skills with others—using her gifts to inspire and empower the next generation of creative makers.

Art, Purpose, and Heritage is at the centre of her work.
