Senior product designer focused on intuitive UI/UX and measurable user retention improvements.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Product Designer with a background in Software Engineering and six-plus years designing intuitive digital experiences that drive measurable outcomes. I specialize in user interface design, user research, and crafting accessible products that resonate with users.
At Orion Systems I led UI efforts and used A/B testing and analytics to inform improvements that produced a 30% increase in user retention. I’ve partnered with stakeholders to translate complex requirements into simple, functional designs that enhance financial accessibility.
My toolkit centers on Figma, user research methods, and content management systems including Adobe Experience Manager. I combine a strong technical foundation with an emphasis on collaboration and constructive feedback to deliver production-ready interfaces.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University Africa and complement my practice with certifications in UX, digital marketing foundations, cybersecurity compliance, and technical support fundamentals.
