About me

Hi, my name is Soninke 👋

I am a Product Designer with six years of experience from South Africa who fell in love with venture building and the Swiss Alps. I am fascinated by the intersection of design, content and storytelling, and I build digital products and experiences that put users first.

 
I like to chase the sunrise with mountain peaks and coffee.
— My favourite thing
