Productivity Evangelist | Product Designer | Nocode App Developer 👉🏾 Follow me to learn how to live intentionally -> focus on the important stuff and create value with your time.

What if you can design the exact kind of life and future you want - one where you achieve the goals most important to you and create meaning & value in this world. 

I know what you're thinking
- I don't have time
- I easily get distracted from my goals

I understand. 

To live the life you desire, you must intentionally design it and consistently take actions required to create it. Everything else is a distraction.

Years of experience as a problem solver through product design and development has taught me a thing or two about intentionally designing and building the kind of life I want.

Now, I’m on an exciting adventure to fully live it and teach it.

Many years ago, I realized 2 things:
- My life wasn’t going as great as I’d like it to be
- I was gifted in and had comprehension for a lot of things but had so little result to show for it

This led me on a journey of self-discovery. Here’s what I found:
- I lacked self-awareness
- I wasn’t intentional about how I use the most precious resource we all have - TIME ⏲️
- Potential without productivity = waste. I wasn't creating

I was fed up and ready to make a change. I came out of that journey with a 35+ pages document about myself which will become a guide for others soon to do the same.

Today I am:
- Living an intentional life... by design
- Spending my time creating solutions for my world in the areas of my passion
- Teaching others to do the same

Don't believe me? Hear them:
- “The session really benefitted me as I was able to clarify my next steps to improving my productivity. You were extremely helpful in articulating the challenges, giving actionable advice and proffering solutions including suggesting useful tools to aid discipline and accountability all with great clarity and organized delivery.” - Chidinma, Canada
- “The session was helpful. When I joined, I was overwhelmed with the workload I had and it was hard to gauge my productivity level. By the end of the session, I felt lighter because all the tools necessary for me to achieve productivity were provided.” - Lilian, UAE
