What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful design solutions and grow my skills in a supportive environment.

I'm a designer with a passion for transforming complex challenges into intuitive, user-centric solutions. I translate intricate product visions into elegant, functional digital realities. My work spans SaaS, complex systems, and client web applications, with a recent tenure as Design Lead at Hillgan Innovations, where I I spearheaded the design of diverse systems, from enterprise ERP (Kazidesk) and hospital management (Kazi Afya) to a community-connecting home services app (Bomasafe). I champion the belief that design's ultimate power lies not just in visual appeal, but in deeply understanding and solving the human problems it serves.
