KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned UI/UX Designer with a strong passion for creating user-centered digital experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Informatics and Computer Science from Strathmore University, followed by a certification in UI/UX Design from Moringa School. This educational background has equipped me with a solid foundation in both technical and design principles.
Currently, I serve as a Product Design Technical Mentor at Moringa School, where I teach design software, prototyping, and usability testing. My role involves critiquing designs to enhance functionality and aesthetics, while also helping mentees navigate design challenges. Additionally, I have experience as a Freelance UI/UX Designer, where I conduct user research, create wireframes, and collaborate with developers to deliver intuitive interfaces. My commitment to staying current with design trends ensures that I consistently deliver captivating and effective solutions.
