I help make complex health systems and data understandable through user-centered design.
Why I design for health
I first realized the power of design while working in health finance and public health implementation with R4D and Lagos State Ministry of Health. I saw that technology was underused and that many programs relied on tools, reports, and workflows that people didn’t actually use.
Design became the way to translate good ideas into products that are usable, useful, and adopted by real people. I built on human-centered design principles to ensure that public health programs and technology work together effectively. Today, I continue to work in implementation and health communications to ensure projects are executed according to best practices and communicated in ways that are both tactical and scientific.

My philosophy
Products should be delightful to use—helping users focus on their main goal: improving health outcomes for the public.
When I evaluate a health product, dashboard, or workflow, I ask: “Does it feel overwhelming, or can I understand it at a glance?”
Most health organizations get design wrong because they fail to leverage available technology, ignore users’ realities, or rely on tools that don’t simplify complex information.
Good design is not complex.
Good design helps people focus on the next bigger problem.

What I bring
If someone could remember one thing about me, it’s that I make complex things simpler.
Why hire me over a generalist? I understand public health and its best practices, so you don’t need to explain or remind me of key concepts—I already know them and apply them effectively.
I’m most excited by projects involving:
