Co-Chapter Head for Black Girls Code (BGC)
Johannesburg, South Africa

BGC SA focused on introducing girls from underprivileged communities to coding and jobs in technology through large-scale, full-day workshops and increasingly smaller-scale continuous cohort-based learning sessions. We focused on developing students’ passion for technology as well as building their skills to successfully pursue an education or career in technology.

User Experience Designer
Thoughtworks, Johannesburg, South Africa

I conducted extensive cross-country user research, did product design, and supported development of a novel vaccine supply chain and logistics Android app (OpenLMIS). The app was built for national use by frontline healthcare workers and pharmacists, with a pilot that ran across dozens of health centres in Mozambique.

Expert Associate Partner – Design
McKinsey & Company, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

At McKinsey, I’ve led design and product teams in multiple engagements, such as the design, development, and launch of multiple customer-facing digital channels for an African bank. We started from zero base with designs and launched to customers in five months, increasing active customer and client usage by 40 percent, with over 4x growth year-on-year in the first two years since launch.

More recently, as part of our Leap practice, I’m leading teams focusing on new business builds, including work in the PropTech space.
