I'm Deneo, a Senior Product Designer making waves in the African Fintech scene. Hailing from the small town of White River, South Africa, my design ambitions are anything but small. My creative journey began in 2011, exploring the intersection of graphic design, development, and photography, igniting a passion for visual storytelling.
This led me to discover my true calling in UX design – the perfect blend of creativity and problem-solving. I thrive on leveraging user research and information architecture to craft impactful designs, grounded in data and insights. Currently, I'm immersed in the dynamic world of Fintech, contributing to a innovative mobile wallet experience. I embrace the fast-paced, agile environment and am constantly learning and growing as I help shape the future of finance in Africa.
My academic pursuit led me to University of Capetown (UCT), where I delved into the world of UX Design and Web development. I polished my skills in UX Design, exploring the intersection of user needs and digital solutions. This experience ignited my passion for crafting intuitive and engaging product experiences.
In my previous role I was part of a team that led redesign of business banking app, resulting in a 15% increase in user engagement. This experience helped my ability to analyse existing applications, evaluate their UX effectiveness, and identify areas for improvement. I am also well-versed in considering the Human-Computer Interaction aspects of design to create intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.
