About

I'm Bonface Maithya, a design engineer based in Kenya.

What I actually do:
I bring to live broken interfaces not only visually, but also functionally. I design with code and code with design in mind. While most designers can't code and most developers avoid design, I live at the intersection of both.

While others debate aesthetics, I'm delivering pixel-perfect, high-performing UIs. ARIA compliance? That's not a nice-to-have — it's a standard I live by.

I thrive on solving complex UI challenges, beating tight deadlines, and exceeding expectations. I believe the best work happens through collaboration, and I'm always ready to bring ideas to life — beautifully and effectively.

When I'm not building interfaces, you'll find me painting, catching up on anime, or getting lost in the world of F1 and football.
→ I don't just build interfaces. I build interfaces that work.

Interests

I'm passionate about building for the web — from designing visually striking interfaces to developing scalable, reliable back-end systems. My journey as a designer and developer spans the full digital stack. Whether prototyping in Figma, exploring modern front-end tools, or working with APIs and databases, I'm always learning, evolving, and pushing creative boundaries.

Tech stack & Tools

I Enjoy using tools that help bring ideas to life — whether it's interfaces being built, APIs being structured, or layouts being designed. My tech stack has been shaped over time by curiosity, consistency, and a drive to create digital experiences that actually matter.

My way of getting things done!

My approach is clear, efficient, and grounded in the waterfall methodology breaking the web design and development process into well-defined, sequential phases. From discovery to deployment, every step is intentional and thoughtfully executed. In just 4 weeks, I'll help bring your vision to life with a website that not only looks impressive but also represents your brand with purpose. It''s all about building impact, staying aligned, and delivering results that matter.

This is where everything begins. You fill out a detailed brief to outline your goals, preferences, and expectations. The more specific, the better — it sets the tone for everything that follows.

I dive deep into understanding your industry, competitors, and audience. This includes visual analysis, UX audits, and market research to identify what works — and how we can do it better.

Based on the insights gathered, I create interactive wireframes or low-fidelity prototypes. This step maps out user flows and page structures — ensuring functionality and user intent align before design begins.

This is where the brand comes alive. Using your guidelines and creative direction, I design the final UI — polished layouts, typography, color palettes, and interactions that bring your vision to life.

Once everything is tested and approved, your website goes live. I provide all source files, documentation, and optional training to ensure a smooth handoff and easy future updates.
