Lead UI/UX Designer | Tech Innovator
Currently pursuing an Associate's degree in Computer Science from the University of the People, I am a seasoned UI/UX designer with extensive experience in the tech industry. As the Lead UI/UX Designer at Techinika, a Rwandan-based Ed-Tech start-up, I significantly reduced user complaints by 40% through a comprehensive redesign of the website and mobile app, boosting customer satisfaction and revenue. At IAYD, I served as the Senior Product Designer, leading a team of four to develop user-centered products that empower African youth. My tenure at Starr Power Technology saw a 137% increase in annual revenue due to my collaborative efforts in platform development. I began my career as a UI/UX Design Intern at CODEPLAY, where I honed my skills in user interaction assessment and prototype creation. My work consistently focuses on improving user experience and driving growth through innovative design solutions.
