Experience
I've worked with companies and clients across various capacities, full-time, in agency settings, and as a freelancer—partnering with those who value the impact of great design.
Throughout my career, I've contributed to building products used by millions daily, with roles at Jobberman, McKinsey Digital, ALAT, and FCMB UK. I co-founded Leanstack Systems and was part of the founding team at Wallets Africa. Currently, I lead product design at Matta.
