🔒 Case study just dropped.
I redesigned WakalaPay a crypto-to-fiat conversion app serving Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa around one brief:
Make users feel safe enough to send real money.
Here's what I designed:
1️⃣ Amount Input — control before commitment
2️⃣ Rate & Fees — full transparency, zero surprises
3️⃣ Confirmation — designed for the moment of maximum fear
4️⃣ Processing — eliminating the silence
5️⃣ Success — the beginning of loyalty
6️⃣ Transaction History — AI powered retention tool
The big lesson: fintech users don't need beautiful design. They need design that makes them feel safe enough to act.
Beauty is a byproduct of solving real fear

That’s a strong brief. Designing for perceived safety in financial products is no small task. I like the focus on control before commitment — transparency around rates and fees is where trust really compounds.
Thank you so much
Glad it resonated — excited to see how you evolve it.

FindIt — Campus Lost & Found App
UI/UX Design
Designed the core flow for FindIt, a mobile app that replaces informal campus lost-and-found systems (WhatsApp groups, security desk logbooks) with a structured reporting and matching flow.
The main design challenge: building trust in an automated match without it feeling like a black box, while preventing false ownership claims.
Key decisions:
Photo-first reporting, since visual matching outperforms text descriptions for lost items
Match confidence broken into transparent criteria (category, location, time) rather than a single opaque score
Ownership details gated until verification, with campus security tied in as the verifying authority
Minimal, quick-entry forms suited to reporting between classes
Scope: home/discovery, report item flow, match verification, security integration.
