About
Adanma
There are two things that are guaranteed to thrive in our future; people and technology. I’m in the art of building the bridge between aesthetics and function when it comes to creating digital experiences for users. Call me a UI/UX Designer, Front End Developer, Creative Technologist, or Digital Designer; I love to work with colors, code, shapes, and motion. Empathy is at the heart of my process.
