About
Freelance Product Designer
Nicolas Mahlunge
Illustration, plant and photography enthusiast
Inspired by the Shona language; 'Waita hako', meaning thank you, this designer believes that gratitude is a powerful motivator. This philosophy shapes an approach focused on clear communication, impactful design, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations. With 8+ years of experience, the aim is to repay that trust by crafting intuitive interfaces, building products with purpose, and collaborating seamlessly within teams.
A finalist for UI/UX Designer of the Year with Yuno Juno and featured in three magazines for photo work, this designer draws inspiration from multiple creative fields. This cross-disciplinary perspective translates into a unique ability to bring both artistry and functionality to every project. The belief that good design can make a positive impact drives everything from the initial concept to the final pixel.
Whether simplifying complex tasks, empowering users, or contributing to a global conversation, it's about gratitude in action – a "Waita hako" to clients, collaborators, and the users whose experience is at the heart of the design process.
Incase you are wondering, it's pronounced wah-eeta-ha-koh.
