About

Architect by training. Product designer by trade.

From Conakry to New York, by way of İzmir. I design calm tools for complex work, and I still think like someone who builds things that have to stand.

About

Hi, I'm Koroma.

I'm originally from Guinea and trained as an architect in the United States. Today I'm a product designer working across American and West African contexts, in English and French.

I'm at my best inside complex, high-stakes systems: many tools, many roles, and work that can't afford mistakes. I make them calm.

Design philosophy

Bold in the thinking. Simple in the using.

Architecture taught me that a building has to be beautiful and it also has to stand. I design software the same way: bold in the ideas, quiet and simple in the experience. Over ten years I've brought that to airlines, fintech and banking, for teams of every size that need tools to help their people work more effectively.

Awalé · play a round against Korka

The West African strategy game I grew up with. You win by sowing in the right place at the right time. It was optimization all along.

  1. Pick a pit on your side, the bottom row. Its seeds are sown one by one into the next pits, counterclockwise. Then Korka plays.
  2. Capture on Korka's side. If your last seed lands in one of Korka's pits and makes 2 or 3, you take them, plus any 2s or 3s just before it.
  3. First to 25 seeds wins.

Let's build something calm.

I'm available now for full-time remote roles and 2–3-month contracts: an AI feature from start to ship, a UX review of an AI product, or a design system. A full walkthrough of my NDA work is available on request.
