Precious Ogar
@preciousogar1
I design fintech products that drive adoption, payments, and business growth.
What I'm looking for
I've led product design for Karla, Africa's first tap-to-pay solution, from user research through launch. The product reached 200+ daily active users, generated $20K+ in transactions, and supported 40% month-over-month user growth.
Across Acumen Digital, I designed mobile-first investment experiences for Trove, a platform downloaded 100K+ times across Africa, and product and marketing features for BitGo. I also built Acorn's unified design system, helping increase user engagement by 20%.
I've designed fintech platforms that make complex financial activity easier for businesses, including Host Finance's cross-border settlement and trading platform, Mercurie Labs' local-currency ad and subscription payment dashboard, and Brass Starter's SMB platform. My work has supported $8M+ in settlements, $30M+ in OTC transactions, and 1,000+ post-launch app downloads.
I'm a hands-on product designer who combines research, interaction design, design systems, and polished mobile and web experiences. I also mentor emerging designers in UX fundamentals, prototyping, and product thinking.
