A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m John!
I am a product designer with many years of experience working cross functionally with companies across Africa (Co-Creation Hub), Europe (Geonode), and Asia (Oneistox). I am passionate about helping early-stage, and Series A companies bring their ideas to life and succeed in the market.
My deep understanding of different cultures and ability to adapt quickly to new environments set me apart. Having worked in Africa, Europe, and Asia, I have developed a unique perspective that allows them to create products that resonate with users from different backgrounds and with varying needs.
An Amateur Cook
The pandemic turned me into an avid cooking enthusiast. As someone whose meals revolved around local dishes before COVID-19, I’d like to think I’ve come a long way by exploring various cuisines and dishes. My favourite and most frequented are Indian, Italian and Chinese.
Travel Junkie
I’ve lived in 6 cities across Africa and Europe. I like to think this makes me quickly adapt to new environments and has taught me to be curious. My travelling experiences have made me happier as it allows me to disconnect & recharge and relieves me of stress and anxiety.
Meeting new people and exploring new foods, cultures, languages, and traditions has been a massive win for me travelling across different continents
Karaoke Lover
As an avid lover of music of different genres, I have recently found love with Karaoke. I join the Karaoke event every week in a local lounge around my home, where I sing along to different songs.
Karaoke allows me to connect directly to the emotions of different themes and lets me lose the steam and stress in me as endorphins are released, and they help reduce both anxiety and stress. It also stimulates my brain, allows me to socialize, improves my retentive memory and builds my confidence.
