I'm Ahmad — a product designer with a decade inside fintech and banking. I started at NCK Technology building for Fidelity, Access Bank, and UBA, then led design at Gomoney and Sterling Bank before joining Lemfi and Accenture in Berlin, working with Deutsche Bank and Motel One. One belief has carried through: the best work happens at the intersection of craft and consequence.
Cadara Studio is the practice I built around that — a small, focused team doing precise work for companies in fintech, logistics, and regulated industries. If you're building in financial services and need a design partner who knows the space from the inside, I'd like to hear about it.
