“I'm a multidisciplinary builder — I design, animate, code, and automate. I don't stop at deliverables; I build the infrastructure around them.”

With 8+ years across fintech and Web3, I've led design at Swypt — where I owned end-to-end product design for a crypto payment platform that processed $15M+ in transaction volume, designed enterprise dashboards and developer portals serving 20+ integrations, and built the AI automation system that replaced six disconnected tools with one unified intelligence engine.

My work spans four disciplines that rarely live in one person: UI/UX product design (React, Figma, TypeScript), motion and video production (After Effects, Blender, AI video workflows), graphic and brand design, and AI systems engineering (LLM pipelines, web scraping, CRM automation). I work best at the intersection of these — building things that look good, feel right, and run on their own.

Deep roots in the African tech and payments ecosystem. Comfortable designing for the constraints of emerging markets — where connectivity, context, and simplicity matter more than convention.
