What guides me

 

I’ve always had a deep interest in human behavior. I’ve channeled that curiosity into building culturally relevant tools that help others feel seen, heard, and empowered.

 

I was born to Ghanaian immigrants and raised between London and Philadelphia, where I learned early on that culture shapes who we are, what we’re drawn to and what we find beautiful. Navigating these cultures made me keenly aware of the differences in how people engage with the world around them. I’ve witnessed the struggle that comes with navigating an unfamiliar system. This awareness has led me to design not only as a practice, but as a way of bridging differences.

 

I’m committed to an approach grounded in research, collaboration, and intentionality. I care about how things look, but even more who they work for. Whether I’m designing from scratch or for an existing experience, I aim to create tools that are useable and inclusive.
