Designer who thinks in code

I'm a Product Designer and Frontend Developer based in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. I've spent 4+ years designing mobile and web products across fintech, smart home, real estate, and entertainment — always focused on clarity, usability, and real user impact.

What makes my work different: I started as a developer. I've built apps in React Native and Next.js, which means I design with implementation in mind. I understand constraints, components, and handoff. When I work with an engineering team, there are fewer surprises — and faster delivery.

I've worked solo on complete product builds (research → wireframes → UI → prototype) and in collaboration with development teams. I'm autonomous, async-ready, and comfortable working with distributed remote teams across time zones.

Good design is invisible —
it's the experience that feels obvious in hindsight.

I work user-first, always asking: what does this person actually need, and what's getting in their way? Then I remove the friction. My goal is never to impress — it's to make things work so well that nobody notices the design at all.
