About
I am a multidisciplinary designer with 5+ years of experience who is passionate about technologies that aim to empower and uplift people
As a designer, I'm driven by a deep empathy for users and a need to create functional solutions. I use a combination of research and intuition to put myself in the user's shoes to truly understand their pain points. By approaching problems from multiple perspectives, I'm able to bring a fresh outlook to each project, ensuring that every design decision is made with the user in mind.
With my background in Architecture and art, I bring a detail-oriented mindset to every project, ensuring every element is thoughtfully crafted. My goal is to create designs that not only look beautiful but also solve real problems and make a positive impact on the user's experience.

As the sole designer on the team, I had the unique privilege of leading the design efforts in bringing our mobile app from concept to launch. With each step of the process, I made sure that every detail was crafted with the user in mind. It was an exciting challenge, and one that I'm proud to say we conquered together. Now that our app is out in the world, I'm thrilled to see the positive impact the app is having on people and transportation in Zambia: It's now easier for people across Zambia to buy and manage their tickets. Even more, the app has been bringing more awareness to less popular parts of the country, which we believe will ultimately lead to people uncovering more of the country's hidden gems.
Beyond allowing people to buy tickets, I have also helped designer a desktop platform to help to help bus operators track their sales, formulate customer analytics and centralize their operations data which we believe will be very transformative.
Since launching in November of Last year, Tafika has accrued more than 5k downloads, and is slowly being adopted by all the major bus operators in Zambia.
I look forward to continuing to evolve and improve our product so that we help people in Zambia and perhaps central Africa move around more easily.
I am working closely with founders to design an MVP for a contest platform that will help artists get discovered. I have designed and built several prototypes that have help us gather valuable feedback that have shaped the direction of the product
I am working closely with the founders on the design of the MVP for a tool that will help people find the right size for their online clothing purchases in a intuitive way.

The MVP is expected to ship sometime during the summer.
I have been working closely with the founders at Healthy Kinnect, to create concepts, and design a platform that will help people hit their health & wellness goals using through community accountability.

Side Projects
This year, I am building a portfolio website centered around my journey as a designer and things that inspire me in life, etc...
With that in mind, I wanted the portfolio to embody the philosophy of "less is more" by designing a clean and elegant interface that prioritizes the user's reading experience over anything else. By minimizing distractions and putting the focus on the substance of the material, visitors can fully engage with the work presented. The emphasis is on readability and comprehension, making it easy for users to navigate and explore the content.
The website will be an example of how minimalism can be used to enhance the user experience and convey a message effectively.
