What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment that values user-centered design and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I'm a passionate UI/UX designer with a strong background in product design and user experience. Currently, I work at Smart People Africa, where I conduct user story gathering sessions and collaborate with stakeholders to define product requirements. My role involves performing UX audits, designing user interfaces for mobile and web applications, and generating insight reports to guide design decisions.

Previously, I worked as a freelance product designer, where I designed UI/UX for various industries and managed multiple projects from strategy to implementation. My experience at My 1Health allowed me to spearhead user-centered design initiatives, resulting in significant improvements in user satisfaction and operational efficiency. I thrive on solving complex design challenges and enhancing usability for all users.
