Hi, my name is ABDI!

‍

I'm a Creative Technologist and Product Designer from Tanzania, currently pursuing a Master of Design at UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) with a focus on Engineering Design, Prototyping, and Interface Design. My work blends technology, design, and social impact, creating solutions that are both innovative and deeply contextual.

‍

🌍 I’ve worked across 10+ countries, designing at the intersection of hardware and software, UX and embedded systems, and digital branding. With a degree in Interactive Media from NYU, I specialize in building user-centered technologies that challenge conventional design approaches.

‍

πŸ’‘ Beyond design, I work with refugee communities, teaching digital skills and connecting talent to remote opportunities. I believe in design as a tool for empowerment, ensuring technology serves diverse communities.

‍

πŸš€ I thrive in spaces where engineering meets creativity, design meets storytelling, and innovation meets real-world impact. Let’s connect!
