We designed a full digital experience spanning a goal-tracking mobile app, a web-based admin dashboard, and a marketing website. Our mission was to craft a seamless system that helps users stay focused, motivated, and consistent with their personal growth.


We led the design process end-to-end: from UX research and product strategy, to wireframing, UI design, and prototyping across platforms. On the mobile side, we focused on intuitive daily goal-setting, progress tracking, and dopamine-boosting micro-interactions. For the admin dashboard, we built tools for managing users, tracking engagement, and customizing subscription settings. And on the website, we told the product story driving clarity, trust, and conversions through clean visuals and compelling content hierarchy.

I designed a brand identity for an Afrobeats-focused blog spotlighting the sound, culture, and movement of the genre.

The goal was to create a visual system that felt as rhythmic, bold, and evolving as Afrobeats itself blending contemporary African energy with a clean digital aesthetic. I designed the logo, color system, typography, and brand visuals to strike a balance between editorial clarity and cultural vibrancy.

The result is a brand that feels loud when it needs to, chill when it wants to, and always rooted in the beat.

About me

Hi, I’m James Ogechi Emmanuella F. - Designer, Computer Scientist, Music head, Soft life advocate. I design cool stuff for people who like their brands with a little flavour. Currently doing crazy stuff at Azza and Codetivite. Sprinkling brand fairy dust everywhere else.



When I’m not pushing pixels, I’m either: Curating banger playlists, Watching Master chef Canada, aggressively chilling, Playing Candy Crush or pretending to be a Music Producer in my head.


The ‘F’ in my name stands for Fortune.🙂 I’m obsessed with visuals that feel, ideas that land, and interfaces that don’t make people cry.
