Born in Zimbabwe, Farai was going to be doctor but didn’t get the grades. Now he’s a designer. These events are not connected in the way you think.
Using scribbles and pixels he’s spent the last 11 years trying to convince businesses that people on the other side of the screen should be treated as humans.
For 7 years he did this kind of stuff for clients like BBC, Audi and Telefonica in UK. These days he’s grappling with even more interesting design challenges in South Africa, where screens are small but more important, bandwidth is low but precious, and businesses are just starting to understand that UX is not UI.
In Shona culture, we readily accept and expect that power in organisations is distributed unequally. Less powerful members of organisations (including family) expect to not have a voice or option in many situations. I had no idea how this would hinder my ability to work in cross functional teams until it got me fired.
