Career

11 years in tech, three disciplines, one throughline

Product management, software development, and product design — in that order, until UX stuck.

  1. Now — Oslo

    Design Leadership, Copilot Agents

    Microsoft

    Co-leading a team designing B2B AI tools that make the workforce more productive. Alongside that, I tinker with a personal question: how can AI be used for socio-cultural good — for empowering communities to be more self-sufficient?

  2. 11 years in tech

    Product Design

    Where it finally clicked

    After years moving between product management and software development, product design is where I landed — and UX specifically is where I find real joy. Dissect the problem, architect the solution, keep the user at the center and the business goals in view.

  3. Building a community

    Founder

    UX Kitchen — Nairobi's biggest UX community

    Ran Nairobi's largest UX community for years — talks, workshops, and a growing library of product design education. Still contribute to design communities back home in Kenya.

  4. Where it started

    Product Manager → Software Developer

    The long way round to design — moving between product management and software development before UX had a name for me yet.
