Daniel Kalibana

Senior UI/UX & Product Designer

I design enterprise, healthcare, government and fintech platforms people rely on, from Rwanda's national health insurance platform at RSSB to e-procurement, export financing and digital addresses as an independent consultant. I work end to end: research, flows, high-fidelity UI in Figma, design systems and hands-on developer handoff. I also build working HTML and React prototypes with AI-assisted tools so flows are tested before they are coded.
