With 10+ years of hands-on experience in social innovation, design, and entrepreneurship across Africa and beyond, I am passionate about creating impact through collaborative innovation. Currently, I lead programs, strategy, business, and design at Mideva Labs (mideva.co), a research, design, and innovation consultancy studio. I am also the co-founder of Idea Studio Africa (ideastudio.africa), an impact venture studio accelerating social innovation across the continent, and Kuza Collective, a collaborative platform empowering African independent professionals. Previously, I led the design, launch, scale, and impact measurement of the Africa YES Program (africayescentre.org), supporting young entrepreneurs to build scalable social ventures. My work extends to multiple entrepreneurship support initiatives, always with a focus on measurable impact. I specialize in leveraging human-centered design to enable diverse stakeholders to co-create solutions to pressing societal challenges. My expertise is backed by certifications in entrepreneurship, human-centered design, business design, and strategy design, as well as a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Let’s connect if you’re interested in social innovation, entrepreneurship, or collaborative design for impact in Africa and beyond
