About Me

My journey in design and development

My Story

I'm David Waweru, a self-taught UI/UX designer and web developer based in Nairobi, Kenya. My journey in tech began with a curiosity about how digital products are built and a desire to create experiences that make technology more accessible and enjoyable.

Over the past five years, I've evolved from building basic websites to crafting comprehensive digital experiences that merge thoughtful design with technical execution. I believe great digital products emerge at the intersection of three elements: human-centered design thinking, clean efficient code, and strategic business alignment.

Being based in Nairobi has given me a unique perspective on creating technology for diverse audiences with varying levels of technical literacy and access. This environment has taught me to build solutions that are not just beautiful but also practical and efficient.

Today, I'm focused on expanding my capabilities in AI-driven design and development, exploring how emerging technologies can enhance human experiences rather than replace them.
