Idesignproductsthatmovepeople—literally.
Lead Product Designer specializing in AI-powered platforms and motion-driven interfaces. I bring products to life with intentional interaction design, AI-assisted workflows, and code I ship myself.
About
Product designer who also ships the code.
I'm a Lead Product Designer based in Nairobi with 5+ years designing AI-powered platforms, fintech tools, and health-tech products for African and global markets.
My background in motion design shapes everything I do. I don't just design static screens — I choreograph how products feel. Transitions, micro-interactions, loading states. These are shipping deliverables, not afterthoughts.
I'm currently deep in the AI + design intersection, using tools like Windsurf, Claude Code, and Figma MCP to go from concept to coded prototype in hours, not weeks.
Motion-First
Every screen is a performance. I design transitions before static states.
AI-Native
I use AI as a design collaborator — from ideation to coded output.
Ship-Ready
I write the code, so my specs are already implementation-ready.
