I design fintech payment products, merchant dashboards, and intuitive mobile and web experiences.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I've designed fintech products at ArifPay, including ArifPOS, ArifGateway, and ArifRemit. My work spans merchant payment flows, onboarding and KYC, settlements, remittances, dashboards, checkout, and back-office systems.
I turn complex business and technical requirements into intuitive, scalable mobile and web experiences through user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity UI. I also create reusable components and contribute to consistent design systems while supporting product, engineering, and implementation teams.
Alongside fintech work, I've designed websites and visual content for brands including Valab Global, Laafi Med Care, Etete Coffee, and Serum Skin Care. I've also designed Tolo, a grocery and parcel delivery mobile app, and delivered freelance UX/UI, branding, and marketing design projects.
I share practical design learning through an educational YouTube channel with 6,500+ subscribers and have guided 50+ young people in UX/UI and design tools.
