Hey there! I'M

Esethu Bhengu

A UX/ UI Designer with a scientific background, based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

BIO

I am a UX/UI designer with a background in geology, environmental sciences, and materials science. While it might sound like an unusual path into design, it’s given me a strong foundation in research, problem-solving, and building thoughtful systems that work.

I first got curious about user experience while working in a property brokerage, where I saw the importance of understanding user needs, behaviors, and how digital tools support real world decision making. That experience, combined with my analytical background, shaped the way I now approach design;  balancing creativity, usability, and business goals.

I love creating clean, intuitive experiences that not only look good, but make people's lives easier.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me at the gym, out hiking, painting something new, or getting lost in a true crime podcast.
