Delighted to meet you
Empowering users through design - I am a Product Designer based in Nairobi, Kenya with a passion for creating intuitive and user-centered experiences. Driven by a desire to challenge the status quo and work with inspiring, creative teams.
Designing for bottom-line results
01 / Strategy & Research
I begin every project by digging deep into user needs and business goals. By aligning our design plan with your objectives, I ensure that every decision is a strategic one, creating user-centered solutions that drive real results.
02 / UX Design & Interaction Design
Designing for the user, not for myself. I use design thinking and data-driven approaches to architect user experiences that truly serve your needs. Iteration is key in my process as I continuously refine and enhance the user experience. My focus is always on creating a system that is not only visually appealing but also efficient and user-centered.
03 / UI Design & Prototyping
Bringing aesthetics and motion to life. I specialize in crafting visually striking UI designs that translate micro-interactions for an immersive experience. I also employ various user interface design techniques and through prototyping I deliver designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
04 / User Testing & Iteration
Building for user success I strive for continuous improvement by gathering user feedback, analyzing it, and iterating based on their needs. I understand the importance of measuring progress and take the challenge of turning user insights into meaningful interactions. I am driven by the satisfaction of creating a product that truly succeeds for the user.
Certifications & Credentials
Professional certificates and badges that showcase my training and continued learning in UX, interaction design and product design.
My Story
My design journey is a story about building—from a deep curiosity for how things work to the passion for creating solutions that matter. I built my foundation by earning the Google UX Certification and attending several bootcamps, translating my raw ideas into robust design principles.
My love for the craft naturally evolved into a desire to share it. Along the way, it was a privilege to mentor and lead aspiring designers at communities like Moringa, the Andela Learning Community (ALC), Tech Bridge, Apprentice Cloud, and Junior Archivers. Seeing others bring their ideas to life not only reinforced my own skills but also became a key part of my story.
Today, as a UX/UI and Product Designer, I'm driven by a commitment to creating magic. I thrive on the challenge of untangling complex problems to build products that are not just intuitive and elegant, but are truly impactful for the people who use them.
