Designed with intention.

I'm Yaya, a product and UX designer focused on building tools people can trust. I design interfaces where clarity is structural, not decorative — systems that help people understand information, make decisions, and move confidently through complex products.

I’m particularly interested in how emerging technologies like AI reshape the relationship between people, software, and decision-making, and how thoughtful interface design can keep those systems legible and accountable.

I approach every project research-first, with a quiet obsession for the small details that make an experience feel effortless rather than merely polished.

When I’m not designing, I’m usually hosting elaborate dinner parties, wandering through bookshops, or thinking about Marseille far more often than is practical.
