About

With a background in product design, I have led innovative projects at companies such as Toptal, Speechify, Bundle Africa, and Treepz. At Speechify, I spearheaded the design of Speechify Audiobooks, contributing to a $30k revenue boost in 3 months. My role at Bundle Africa involved revamping the mobile app and leading a team of product designers. As a Product Design Lead at Treepz, I managed a design team across two countries and championed user-centric design principles. Additionally, as a Founding Designer at Treepz, I redesigned the initial app, resulting in a 50% increase in daily revenue and securing $2.8M in seed funding. My expertise lies in crafting user-friendly interfaces, driving revenue growth, and securing funding through compelling design solutions.
