A Legacy of Vision and Empowerment
As the Founder of Minds and Lines (established in 2006), Arc. Harrison has dedicated his life to igniting curiosity, nurturing leadership, and equipping the next generation with the mindset to think critically and act with purpose. Through this platform, he has built a vibrant community of thinkers, creators, and leaders who embody integrity, innovation, and excellence.
His humanitarian heart beats strongly through his leadership as Chairman of the PURPLE Foundation, a purpose-driven organization committed to social impact, compassion, and empowerment. Through the foundation, he has pioneered life-changing initiatives such as Unravel, Widows Outreach, Random Act of Kindness, Next-Gen, and The Next Great Thing—uplifting vulnerable communities and instilling hope in thousands across Nigeria and beyond.
Beyond architecture, Apeh chairs the board of his non-profit organization "Purple Foundation" with humanitarian efforts reaching both young and old. The TEN Summit, Club-10, TENclass, Next-Gen, and Unravel are some of the schemes and trainings provided by Purple Foundation that have touched hundreds of thousands of lives globally over the past 10 years.
Core Philosophy
"Problems are not obstacles, but opportunities for growth and purpose. True greatness lies not in what we accumulate, but in what we contribute; not in the monuments we build, but in the people we inspire to rise."
Architecture, Enterprise, and Innovation
A trained architect with a reputation for precision and visionary design, Arc. Harrison continues to redefine what it means to build with purpose. His professional journey spans years of creative excellence, with a focus on designs that blend functionality, culture, and aesthetics. His work is not just about structures—it's about creating spaces that tell stories, inspire belonging, and foster connection.
His entrepreneurial ventures reflect this same philosophy. Through Letoha Restaurant and Bakery (founded in 2019) and Batoha Resort and Stay Apartments (launched in 2023), both located in Abuja and Makurdi, he has merged architecture, hospitality, and community development. These establishments embody innovation, culture, and comfort while empowering local artisans, creating jobs, and promoting sustainable economic growth.
