WORK HISTORY
Dec 2021 - Current
UX Designer
PSG Wealth
I currently work at PSG Wealth. South Africa's leading financial services group. As the first and only UX designer I've had to grow UX maturity with in the business, there have been many trials, but it was all worth it especially when stakeholders began to buy into the design concepts, they were able to see great value in experience design, I also managed to improve and assist in increasing the adoption rate on their platforms. There's still along way to go, to get business to understand the full potential of what UX can offer, and the design thinking process behind why we use data driven insights and the importance of empathy maps and personas

UI Designer
Osiris Trading
I started off in the creative department designing web banners, mailers, MOTD's and splashpages for casino content, before moving into the SEO space doing front end and UI, I enjoy working with the people in my team and have much more freedom and diversity working in SEO. This is where alot of my experience in designing interface components stems from, and why I believe SAAS is the future. I enjoy creating usable web interfaces, build prototypes for product and create aquisition related marketing content. My most memorable projects I worked on was the fantasy football app, as well as reskinning the Ghana Casino User Interface I love what I do.

TESTIMONIALS
Zunaid Bulbulia
CEO / MTN.
Y’ello Anni, A little over a month ago, we changed the game within the South African market – launching not simply our fastest product-to-market yet, but in many ways, taking a re-ignition of the trail-blazing, entrepreneurial spirit of our founding years into a more mature, resilient organisation. You were a key part of that shift. Together you’ve shown us that we can get a product from concept to design to market much, much faster – through focused teamwork, active collaboration and agility. As I said in my communiqué on 24 February, you have created a living example of a new high-performance culture within MTN: getting a product from concept to delivery in a matter of two weeks, without compromising on process quality or risk management. While we still have a lot to learn from our land-speed-record-breaking delivery of our new PayPerSecond, ZonePerSecond and Voice bundles, I wanted to send you a personal thank you and acknowledgement for your contribution – for the extra hours and effort, and for showing us what is possible. We’re operating in an increasingly competitive market. It’s clear that the recipe for sustained, innovative delivery will be a keen attention to our customers, actively learning new insights, driving fresh design and pushing our speed-to-market. You have demonstrated that we have what it takes, and I’m massively encouraged by your energy, hard work, resilience and determination. Your work is putting our brand promise into action.
