Product designer transitioning to product management, solving user problems with measurable impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a product designer transitioning into product management, combining environmental management and project coordination experience with recent product training. I led the development of a demo digital savings product, KoloPadi, and I focus on solving user problems and building meaningful digital experiences.
My background includes managing cross-functional teams, stakeholder communication, and vendor relationships while maintaining project documentation and reporting to support strategic decisions. I have practical experience driving team performance, resolving blockers, and delivering projects on time and within budget.
I have worked across education, insurance, agriculture, and innovation hubs where I applied research, UX collaboration, and product management fundamentals. I am comfortable with Agile practices, UI/UX basics, market and user research, and documentation to support product outcomes.
I bring strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving skills, and I am passionate about building products that matter and improving user experiences through evidence-based design and collaboration.
