I’m a product designer based out in the Greater Seattle area embarking on a journey to design experiences that are accessible, delightful, and connected because I wholeheartedly believe that everyone should have a healthy and rewarding experience with technology.
Born and raised in Kenya, Africa, a country that was once vibrant full of art and creativity, I was born in a generation where creative expression grew stagnant and stale. From the day I could pick up a pencil, I’ve always wanted to create art but like every kid back then I was forced to focus on Science, Engineering, and Math as it was the new trend in town.
The moment I laid my hands on a computer, a kid who doodled every opportunity he had, I was hooked. Starstruck with a piece of technology that had movable pictures on a screen mystified with the idea of how I could bridge technology and art together. Since then I’ve embarked on a journey to create experiences that are beautiful and that just makes sense.
