About

I am…

Congolese-American

An Aggie

An enjoyer of all things artistic

Annoyingly curious

A little bit about me

I am a designer who thrives in collaborative and dynamic environments. My expertise lies in visual and interaction design, complemented by a strong foundation in user research. Beyond design, I see myself as an artist at heart, driven by a deep appreciation for iteration. The ability to refine, evolve, and improve is what excites me most about this craft—there is always something to enhance, a new perspective to explore. This relentless pursuit of growth keeps me engaged, ensuring I never feel stagnant but always push forward

My approach to design

I believe that the best designs are ones that connect with people on a simple and personal level. Products that feel like a trusted friend or experiences that take complex tasks and make it feel as familiar as brushing your teeth in the morning. To me, that is what defines good design and that is what I strive for.
