What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth opportunities in UI/UX design.

I am a results-driven Product (UI/UX) Designer with over four years of experience in crafting intuitive digital products and user-centered experiences. My journey has been marked by a commitment to leading end-to-end design processes, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and delivering scalable solutions that enhance usability and engagement.

Currently, I serve as a Product (UI/UX) Designer Consultant at Strettch.com, where I lead the design for Rwanda Polytechnic’s e-learning platform, impacting over 30,000 users. My previous roles include designing business software for Kayko Group and freelance projects that improved user navigation and engagement. I am passionate about creating designs that not only meet user needs but also align with business goals.
