What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design and build accessible, high-converting digital products where I can own UX from research and prototyping through production-ready frontend implementation.

At Tison, I own UI discovery and UX design for fintech and e-commerce products, turning complex financial and business logic into intuitive user flows. I built a scalable Figma design system and token library, produced 15+ interactive prototypes, and led usability testing before engineering kickoff.

I also engineer production interfaces with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, enforcing design-system fidelity, component reuse, and web accessibility requirements.

As Lead Designer at Parkaletus, I directed visual identity, UX strategy, and UI layouts across primary web properties. I created layout guidelines, visual documentation, and asset kits that improved cohesion and reduced post-handoff bug regressions.

I enjoy helping others grow through hands-on Figma, wireframing, prototyping, accessibility, and frontend styling workshops. Through the Nairobi DevOps Community, I redesigned event dashboards and community platforms while building reusable components and a unified visual identity.
