—About me in 18 seconds...
I've been a product designer for 6 years: web, mobile, fintech, SaaS, B2B products. The end goal across all of it is the same: does this actually work for a real person?
Currently at AB InBev, leading design across three mobile apps and a design system that's now past 100 components and adopted by teams well outside design. Over the years I've worked with early-stage startups and enterprise teams, and mentored 40+ designers, including through a Techstars-backed programme.
On AI: I use FigmaMake AI, NanoBanana, and ChatGPT in my process. But Claude - Claude Code and Cowork specifically has changed things more than the rest combined. I use it to think through interaction logic before I open Figma, catch weak decisions early, and handle the workflow overhead that used to just disappear into the week. I spend more time thinking now and less time redoing things. That's the version of "AI-powered" that actually means something.

I work and collaborate with a talented team of seven (7) designers at BeerTech Africa, AB InBev’s African tech hub. Together with our engineering colleagues, I help build a digital ecosystem of ERP solutions that streamline logistics and distribution across the continent of Africa. While my core focus is working on all the mobile apps and design system of Kuja, I provide support on the ERP and my work has contributed to simplifying complex operations between AB InBev and its customers, impacting businesses in seven African countries.
For about 2 years, I’ve accomplished leading the development of a design system for Kuja and worked on all redesigns and introducing new features for Kuja mobile apps including: Kuja Shop, Kuja Drivers and Kuja Express and also, supported the design in designing the web app of Kuja that make processes smoother and improve customer satisfaction. Working in a challenging business environment where both the company and customers face significant operational hurdles, I’ve thrived by crafting digital solutions that tackle these problems head-on and ultimately enhancing user experiences and driving better business outcomes.
—A moment in history
Before transitioning fully into product design, I started my career in 2019 as a graphics designer. This experience helped me appreciate the aesthetics of design and learning how to balance beauty and functionality in my design.As a designer, I’ve worked with companies such as Modisoft, GPC International, Ahrelia and others in different industries that serves different users from different regions.
—Other fun facts
When I'm not designing, I enjoy reading books, gaming (quite good at FIFA and Call of Duty), playing football, and listening to music. I also love to exercise frequently. Additionally, I'm passionate about teaching and mentoring upcoming designers as I did at Ayaversity, helping them grow and succeed in their careers.
