I am a behavioural science expert with a background in cognitive psychology and 9+ years of experience in researching behaviour and designing contextually relevant products, services and interventions for social impact in Africa. I have a passion for understanding the human experience, whether through studying how people interact with the world or through good old conversations. When I am not learning more about design and behavioural science, you can find me writing or speaking about public health, gender equality and international development.
