Hi, I'm Tee

My work has delivered multi-million dollar impacts, including a FinTech API processing over $6B and a verification feature that saved $800K+ in vendor costs. I specialize in leading projects from concept to launch, collaborating with product and engineering to build great solutions.

Life outside work

Underline

When I am not buried in design work, I am probably at the gym chasing my next PR, getting lost in the streets of new cities and countries, or hunting down the coziest cafes I can find.

Lately, my evenings have been spent unraveling the startup chaos and tech drama in Silicon Valley. I also love a good story in the form of books especially when it's about design or finance or from the rich tapestry of African literature.

I'm a firm believer in the power of sharing knowledge. I do this either through talks, long-form thoughts on Substack and Medium, or one-on-one coaching sessions with designers.
