Independent
Product Designer
based in Spain
As a Product Designer at 1990 Product Studio, I'm crafting strategic user experiences that revolutionize digital news delivery, focusing on reader engagement and content discovery systems.
My journey in tech and design spans multiple continents and disciplines. At Harbour.Space University, I merged product design with automation, developing solutions that streamlined academic operations and enhanced the educational experience. This role bridged the gap between theoretical design principles and practical implementation.
Leading web design initiatives at Brand2d in Nairobi, I spearheaded projects across banking, NGO, and consumer sectors, delivering impactful digital solutions that drove business growth. My work with diverse stakeholders strengthened both my design expertise and cross-functional collaboration skills.
At Safaricom, Kenya's telecommunications leader, I played a pivotal role in transforming customer enrollment processes, significantly improving service accessibility and user adoption rates. This experience deepened my understanding of large-scale digital transformation projects.
My foundation in technology was built at BRCK, where I wore multiple hats - from Android development to quality assurance. This multifaceted role gave me invaluable insights into the full product development lifecycle, technical architecture, and user-centered design principles.
Throughout my career, I've consistently demonstrated the ability to blend technical proficiency with design thinking, creating digital products that not only meet user needs but exceed business expectations.

Designed a custom academic operations platform for faculty coordination, syllabus management, attendance tracking, and student feedback collection.
Leagues of Code - A competitive programming & education platform
Existing interfaces worked for small student groups but weren't optimized for larger competitions.
