Curiosity Corner

Experiments

Things I've built out of curiosity. Poking at AI, following a hunch, and shipping before I had all the answers.

01
AI Agent
NSE Morning Briefing Agent
An AI agent that reads Nairobi Securities Exchange data every morning and delivers a concise, human-readable stock briefing. Built to make investing more accessible for East African retail investors.
02
AI Tool
SkillsetAI
An AI skills training platform targeting African professionals navigating the shift to AI-native work. Built around arc-based discovery learning with a Nova AI tutor persona.

Interested in working together?

I'm always open to the right collaboration — whether that's consulting, a contract role, or something you haven't named yet. Let's figure it out.

Dear potential collaborator,

I'm a product designer who goes deep — research, systems thinking, prototyping, shipped product. I don't like to be boxed in as "just a designer." I'm a builder.

I care about building things that actually work for real people — especially in African and emerging market contexts where the stakes are higher and the constraints are real.

If you're building something meaningful and need someone who thinks in systems and ships with craft, let's talk.
