What I'm looking for
I am a passionate Product Design Lead with a strong background in creating meaningful product experiences that align business goals with user expectations.

Currently, I lead a talented team of product designers at Renda Africa, where I drive user-centered design principles and ensure the delivery of innovative and visually compelling product experiences. My previous roles include Product Design Manager at Pastel Africa, where I defined the design system for web and mobile applications, and Principal Product Designer at Patricia Business, where I led the creative direction for customer-facing and back-office web applications.
