About

I build things that are both functional and beautiful — whether that's a web interface or a brand identity. I am a Computer Science student at KNUST with a freelance design practice, Astrolab, through which I deliver visual identities, campaign materials, and social graphics for clients. Alongside my studies, I volunteered at the first Cursor AI Hackathon at KNUST and am an active member of the Claude Builders Club — two communities that have shaped how I think about the relationship between design and technology. My approach sits at the intersection of both disciplines. I bring design thinking to my development work, and technical thinking to my design work. That combination is where I am most effective. My goal is to build software products where design is embedded in the process from the start — not treated as a final layer. I am open to internships, freelance projects, and collaborations with people who value both craft and execution. Feel free to connect.
