What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead end-to-end product design for fintech, SaaS, marketplace, or Web3 products, collaborating closely with founders, product managers, and engineers to turn research and strategy into intuitive user experiences.

I've led product design for Sunga Africa, Vendesquare, Ezyswap.ai, FunRadar, and Fuse.io, creating web and mobile experiences across fintech, marketplaces, payments, and Web3.

At Ezyswap.ai, I redesigned crypto-to-fiat payment and transaction workflows, built scalable design systems, and partnered with leadership on product strategy and feature planning. At Vendesquare, I lead design for vendor dashboards, inventory management, reporting, and operational workflows informed by merchant research and stakeholder interviews.

I bring end-to-end product design across user research, information architecture, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and implementation collaboration. I also led creative direction at Bundle Africa/Cashlink, producing over 200 digital assets and supporting product adoption with user-focused communication and visual design.
