About Me

About Me

About Me

I’m a strategic, multidisciplinary product designer with a proven history of launching new business initiatives, scaling global experiences, and shaping product vision through storytelling and systems thinking.

In the last 10 years, I've led design across some of the world’s most trusted brands - from building AI-driven platforms for educators, to delivering complex election monitoring systems, to designing the MVP of Africa’s foremost economic data and insights product, to scaling an healthtech solution for the largest supply chain in Africa, and currently scaling health insurance across emerging markets. Today, I collaborate remotely with global teams to deliver products that are usable, scalable, and impactful.

As Director of Design at Reliance Health, I lead a distributed team shaping health experiences for users in emerging markets. Previously, I’ve led product design efforts at Branch International, Astral, Field Intelligence, SimplifiedIQ, Seamfix and Stears, building products, workflows and tools that deliver real results for both users and businesses. My leadership style is grounded in communication, autonomy, collaboration, and measurable impact — helping teams ship faster and with greater confidence.
