What shaped this direction
Born in Newark and raised in North Jersey, I bring curiosity, care, and a people-first mindset to AI, UX/UI, and product design.
I did not start out interested in computers. I mostly knew them as the place where I could play video games. What stayed with me was the curiosity behind them and the desire to help people. I once thought about becoming a pediatrician because I wanted to care for others, but over time I realized that path was not mine.
Growing up in an African household, I understood the pressure to choose a familiar path, but I also knew I wanted to learn, build, and give back in my own way. That is what led me toward computer science and AI, and eventually toward UX/UI, where I can create work that is thoughtful, useful, and inclusive.
