I'm Denis Gachoki, a senior product designer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I've spent 10 years designing products where the stakes are real — for riders, merchants, and humanitarian workers across Africa.

Things I've built out of curiosity. Poking at AI, following a hunch, and shipping before I had all the answers.
I'm always open to the right collaboration — whether that's consulting, a contract role, or something you haven't named yet. Let's figure it out.
I'm a product designer who goes deep — research, systems thinking, prototyping, shipped product. I don't like to be boxed in as "just a designer." I'm a builder.
I care about building things that actually work for real people — especially in African and emerging market contexts where the stakes are higher and the constraints are real.
If you're building something meaningful and need someone who thinks in systems and ships with craft, let's talk.
