Three case studies. One that goes all the way down.
I design for the people usually designed around. Three case studies, and one that goes all the way down.
Problem to prototype, with the research cited.
Including the version I decided was wrong.
Concept work and thesis work, each labelled as what it is.
EVERYTHING I'VE MADE
Design is the main event. The rest is the technical half of my background, and it is the reason I know what can actually be built.
Three projects in full. SolMoTech, a digital-access ecosystem for communities the internet has not reached, taken from cited research to a working prototype. WanderLust, an end-to-end travel booking flow. Uzima Water, a smart water dashboard. Including the version of SolMoTech I decided was wrong, and why.
Open the portfolio
The technical half of my BBIT thesis: a smart water metering system with a SQL database behind it, researched against water access in Kajiado County. Self-initiated and still in progress. The design half is Uzima Water.
A guided Notion template for tracking prayers, gratitude, verses and reflections. I designed the structure, the flow between views, and wrote every word of the interface copy. Published and in use.
Front-end builds, IoT scripts and Linux automation. This site is hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which is the same reason I can hand a developer a design and know it will survive contact with the code.
Passed CLF-C01, plus 40+ hours of hands-on labs through the TalentUp Africa bootcamp. Currently working through the Solutions Architect programme with ALX Africa.
HOW I WORK
Understand the people and the problem before touching a screen.
Turn what I found into a problem worth solving.
Explore widely, including the ideas that will not work.
Build the flows, the system, the screens.
Make it real enough that someone can use it.
Watch people struggle, and write down where.
Change my mind, in public, with reasons.
Iterate is last on the list and first in importance. It is where V1 became V2.
ABOUT ME
I love turning ideas into experiences people enjoy using. I believe great design goes past how a thing looks. It is about making something intuitive, accessible and meaningful enough to solve a real problem for a real person.
Design should make life easier, not more complicated.
