About

With a strong foundation in Information Technology from the Adventist University of Central Africa and specialized training in Software Engineering from ALX Academy, I have developed a robust skill set in UI/UX design. My professional journey began with IT support at MVM Fox Ltd, where I honed my technical troubleshooting skills. I then transitioned to a CX & Sales Merchandiser role at DNK, part of BRALIRWA, enhancing product visibility and sales strategies. My passion for design led me to freelance on Upwork, where I crafted user-centered digital solutions, including apps and web concepts. Currently, as a Product Designer at Kayko, I focus on transforming business management tools into user-friendly platforms. I have led significant projects such as the mobile app redesign and the development of the Kayko POS interface, emphasizing user research and usability testing to deliver seamless experiences.
