Projects
Abacus is a mobile application that consolidates financial accounts for easy tracking and management of personal finances. Its core value lies in aggregating balances across bank accounts, investment platforms, and cryptocurrency wallets, providing users with a comprehensive overview. The app also incorporates transfer and bill payment functionalities.
I worked on the initial versions of Abacus as the sole designer. At the time I left, we'd raised about $200k in funding and had over 2000 active users
Sendcash is a cross-border remittance product designed to help Nigerians send and receive money globally. By utilizing crypto as an on and off-ramp, Sendcash capitalizes on crypto's lack of alignment with any specific country, enabling users to send money to anyone in the world without worrying about availability.
I worked as the sole designer on the first version of the mobile app and web app. As of 2022, Sendcash processed over $1m monthly in remmitances.
Worked as Sole designer on ShopTopUp pay, a platform that allows suppliers and wholesalers accept payments from informal retailers in Africa
STANBIC IBTC mobile (called “Appyness”) is a digital banking app designed for STANBIC IBTC bank, the Nigerian subsidiary of the Standard Bank Group, Africa's largest bank by AUM. The app allows customers to access the banking, insurance, pension and stock-trading solutions that the bank offers, it currently caters to over 1m customers.
I led the redesign of the app with a team of 3 other designers and was responsible for introducing a voice-banking/conversational UX experience for consumers.
