Mid-year Milestone Achieved 🎉
I recently concluded the 6-month learning phase of the Tech4Dev Women Techsters Fellowship Class of 2024!
Joining the Women Techsters Fellowship was the first big step I took towards my transition into product design and I’m really proud of how far I’ve come.
In this episode, I talk about how I got in and my experience during the 6-month program.

I'm finally done with my Tech4Dev Women Techsters Fellowship Capstone project!
While working on my capstone project, something that really became apparent to me was the non-linear and iterative nature of the Design Thinking Process.
I was hyper-fixated on following the stages step by step but looking back I realize that it isn't a rigid process and part of being a product designer is being able to think critically and decide how best to approach solving a problem.
I get into all the details in this week's podcast episode, tune in!
