I design products that are both visually compelling and genuinely usable — taking ideas from initial concept through to a finished, market-ready form. I combine branding experience with a strong sense of user needs to create products that catch the eye and solve real problems, whether that's packaging, a digital product, or a physical item.

    Agroharvest ai
    An AI-powered agricultural platform designed to empower smallholder farmers across Africa. What began as a Tanzania-focused app has grown into a continent-wide super platform, built to support 54 countries, 6 languages, and 30+ currencies, with integrated payment options including Flutterwave, MTN MoMo, Orange Money, Visa, and Mastercard. The platform combines AI-driven tools with a farmer-first design to help smallholder farmers access information, markets, and financial services more easily. I led the product vision and design, planning a large-scale system spanning 150+ screens, while working through the technical architecture (Firebase, Supabase, React Native/Expo) alongside the platform's branding, UI, and go-to-market efforts, including running targeted ad campaigns to reach Tanzanian farmers. This project reflects my ability to take a concept from an early local idea to an ambitious, multi-country AI product — bridging design, technology, and real-world impact for underserved communities. article videoeditor graphicdesigner
