My practice
Creative Technologist
Complex products.
Clear experiences.
I connect product strategy, design systems, and visual craft to make ambitious products feel intuitive, from enterprise workflows to entertainment across screens.
Let’s build something meaningful ↗One vision.
Every screen.
A design system built from zero. A shared product identity. I led the redesign of FreeCast across platforms and introduced design thinking company-wide.
Selected work
Systems, experiences & the details that connect them.At FreeCast, I built the design system from scratch, introduced design thinking company-wide, and rebuilt experiences across web, TV web, and mobile apps. The work connects platform strategy with detailed interface decisions.
At Tinubu, I owned navigation, forms, approval workflows, and complex data-table patterns for enterprise surety products. Figma Make prototypes, direct React development support, and visual accessibility connected the system to the way people complete work.
My consumer product work spans travel planning, social discovery, and search. Across these environments, I focus on the same questions: what does the user need to understand, what decision comes next, and how can the product make that step clearer?

Clearer surety tasks
TINUBU SURETY
A clearer path through complex surety work. I created reusable navigation, forms, approvals, and data-table patterns, connecting a scalable interaction system to React development and visual accessibility.
From ideas to trips
TRECCO
From a recommendation to a real plan. I connected travel discovery, saving, organization, and sharing into a coherent journey for travelers.
Clarity in search
SEEKR
Making credibility easier to understand. I shaped search-result hierarchy and political-leaning filters into explicit controls and readable context.
Travel with confidence
BREVITY
Curated travel, with room for choice. I shaped mobile architecture, planning flows, and visual direction to connect inspiration with the next decision.
