My Story

It started with a question I couldn't shake: Why does this look good?

I was in undergrad, studying physiology of all things, when I started designing event flyers and small graphics for friends. Nothing serious — just Photoshop experiments between lab reports.

But I kept staring at designs I admired, trying to reverse-engineer them. What made them work? Why did some layouts feel right and others feel off?

I stumbled into brand design first, learning that design wasn't just decoration — it was communication. Colors carried emotion. Typography had personality.

Then a friend asked me to help design an app interface. And that's when the floor dropped out. I discovered there was an entire discipline dedicated to the why behind every screen.

UX wasn't a career change. It was a homecoming. My background in physiology wasn't a detour — it was preparation.

Building invisible interfaces

The moment I'll never forget.

I was working on Diool, a fintech app helping people across Cameroon manage their money. We'd built something we thought was solid. Clean UI. Logical flows.

Then I flew to Cameroon to test it with real users. I watched someone complete a transaction and smile.

That moment rewired my brain. That's when I truly understood what invisible design could do. I've been chasing that feeling ever since.

Design Philosophy

Great design is invisible — it just works.

The best compliment I can get on a design isn't "this looks amazing." It's "this was so easy I barely noticed it."
