About me
AI speeds up my workflow, it doesn't make my decisions. I use it to clear the repetitive work so I can focus on what actually matters: clarity, ethics, and outcomes. Human judgment and user insight still make the final call. That's not changing.
I am also the Co-Founder and Team Lead/Product Strategist of NewsBridge AI, a civic tech nonprofit building journalism infrastructure for Africa.

Who I Am
Hi, I’m Lois Dagana
I'm Lois Dagana, an AI-first Product Designer with 5+ years designing products, from something people use to something they genuinely rely on. I studied Pure & Applied Chemistry and became a self-taught Product Designer. I design intuitive web and mobile experiences, from discovery to developer handoff. I currently use AI to accelerate research, writing, and documentation, and I mentor newbie designers in my spare time.
When i am away from my desk, I start my mornings at the gym, then dive into design work. Weekends are for batch-creating content, sharing what I’m building and learning about AI-powered design, and promoting digital products I use. Evenings often end with YouTube deep dives on design, tech, and business.
