//about

Design that thinks.
Code that feels.

I'm a UX Engineer based in Accra, Ghana — a hybrid practitioner who lives at the intersection of interaction design, design systems, and frontend engineering.

With a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Mines and Technology, I bring both the technical rigour and the creative intuition needed to build products that users actually love.

I've shipped production code and led design work across fintech, logistics, and campaign management platforms — always focused on the gap between a great Figma frame and a great live product.
