Self-starter, reliable and punctual, passionate about technology and Design Thinking.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned UX/UI designer and developer with a passion for using technology to accelerate development in West Africa. With a strong background in design thinking, I have successfully led multiple projects, including the development of high-fidelity prototypes and user interfaces. My expertise lies in translating user behavior metrics into design changes, setting up usability tests, and building device-independent UI screens.
As a co-founder of StoreFoundry, I designed mobile-first UI and UX to make the signup and setup process short and friction-free, resulting in a 175% increase in merchant signups within a year. I have also worked on various projects, including the development of award-winning news websites and e-commerce platforms.
With a strong foundation in programming, human-computer interactions, and web technologies, I am well-equipped to tackle complex problems and develop innovative solutions. I am excited to leverage my skills and experience to drive growth and development in West Africa.
