Summary
Lulu M is a product-focused technology leader and former designer with 8 years of experience, now serving as Chief Technology Officer in Nairobi. She blends a strong visual design background (BFA in Fashion) with practical frontend engineering, shipping design systems, reusable component libraries, and measurable UX improvements across startups and media brands. Her work driving Vue.js and React implementations has reduced development time and increased engagement—examples include a Storybook component library and paywall integrations that boosted subscriber metrics. Lulu pairs user research and heuristic evaluation with hands-on development, translating prototypes in Figma into production-ready interfaces. Notably, she transitioned from fashion and museum docent roles into full-stack software through Moringa School, bringing uncommon product empathy and cross-disciplinary storytelling to tech leadership. She thrives at the intersection of brand, UX, and scalable frontend architecture, steering teams to faster iterations and clearer design-developer alignment.
