From T-shirts to Product Design
My journey into product design began with a T-shirt brand, where I first experienced the power of solving problems through design. Crafting custom apparel taught me the value of comfort, functionality, and user experience—long before I knew what UX meant.
Seeing customers light up in pieces tailored to their needs sparked my shift into UX/UI, where I realized the same human-centered principles applied to digital products. What started as a small business became my foundation in designing with empathy and intention.
Where I’ve Made Impact
Here’s a look at the companies I’ve worked with and the design challenges I’ve helped solve, from streamlining financial access to enabling merchant payments at scale.

At Sabi, I led the redesign of the Sabi market, Sabi eCommerce web and mobile apps, improving user experience and driving platform engagement.
I also led the discovery and design of key products under the Katsu platform-as-a-service suite; including the Katsu Platform Web App and the responsive Katsu MFB (Microfinance Bank) Web App, powering scalable financial and operational tools for other businesses built on the Sabi ecosystem. -
I contributed to the redesign of the Hydrogen Design System, modernizing its components and improving usability.
I also led the design of the Hydrogen Distribution Management System, enabling African merchants to onboard distributors, manage inventory, and track operations. -
At Clane, I led the design of ClanePay, a peer-to-peer platform offering event ticketing and multi-option payments, and ClanePOS, which helps businesses collect payments via POS and payment links. My work focused on increasing retention, improving payment flows, and delivering consistent experiences.
