About Thapelo Moima

I'm Thapelo Moima, a Product Designer based in South Africa with a background in UI design, digital design, and visual storytelling. I work across UX strategy and interface design to create products that are functional, intuitive, and visually strong.


I started designing apps in high school as a hobby, which later grew into freelance work and a long-term career in digital product design. Over time, I developed a strong interest in solving usability problems, designing better user flows, and building consistent interface systems.


My background in visual design and 3D gives me an edge in craft and detail, while my product design work keeps me grounded in user needs, business goals, and real-world constraints.
