I am a multi-disciplinary design innovation leader and systems strategist with deep expertise in human- and life-centered design, behavioral research and design, decision intelligence and innovation policy. As CEO of the Institute of Design and Innovation (IDI), I steer transformative programs that bridge design, data, and emerging technologies to address Africa’s most pressing challenges.
My strengths lie in translating complexity into clarity, convening diverse stakeholders for co-creation, and designing frameworks that scale context-driven solutions. I have led ecosystem-wide initiatives across climate resilience, digital health, education, the green economy and public sector reform — empowering decision-makers through agile methods, participatory tools, collaborative spaces and systems thinking.
A dynamic facilitator, mentor, and creator, I excel in designing learning experiences, building strategic partnerships, and shaping platforms that amplify African innovation. At my core, I am driven by a passion for our people and a bold vision : to democratize design intelligence and build the next generation of impactful, locally rooted solutions for Africa by Africans.
