About Me
I’m Ruth Okolo, a Product Designer and Software Engineer who builds clean, user-centric apps with Figma, Swift and SwiftUI. I care about sharp UI, thoughtful architecture, and performance that feels effortless.
With a background in Mathematics, I approach engineering with structured thinking: break the problem down, choose trade-offs intentionally, then ship something reliable. I’m currently building mobile products end-to-end from Prototyping to API integration and continuously improving my craft through real project work.
