About me

Five years designing and building for Kenyan businesses: storefronts, point-of-sale and products of my own, from a Chrome extension to a Flutter app. Most of what I design, I build too, so the details survive. Phone-first and accessible by default. Let’s build something that works.

Services

  1. Product & UX design

    A messy process, turned into a product people can use on the phone in their hand. Interviews, journeys, wireframes.

  2. UI & design systems

    Screens your developers can build from, with the tokens, components and light and dark themes behind them.

  3. Odoo e-⁠commerce & ERP

    A shop and back office that run on Odoo: storefront, point-of-sale, stock and accounting, with M-Pesa at checkout and eTIMS on the invoice.

  4. Apps: Flutter, React, PWA

    Your product on phones and in the browser: Flutter on mobile, React on the web, offline-first PWAs and Chrome extensions.

  5. Launch & after

    A launch that holds: every form and order path checked after go-live, and Search Console, Merchant Center and structured data set up so people find you.
