At Promova, I worked end to end on an AI-powered mental wellbeing and education product across iOS and web, from research and analytics through release. I shipped three iOS onboarding flows, designed acquisition funnels and paywalls, and focused on Day-0 activation and next-day retention.

At Cowchain, I delivered the MVP design for Stablecoin.energy and led design for the Afridax multisignature wallet. Earlier, I redesigned Abracadabra.money’s borrowing flows and worked on fintech, Web3, wallet, and mobile app experiences; I also mentor UX/UI students at Mate Academy.
