Hello. I’m Stephen Gacheru.
Nice to Meet You.

For over 13 years, I have helped companies create delightful experiences on the web and mobile.


I originally started my journey into the creative world by studying 3D animation but settled on designing websites and user interfaces.

In the past decade, I have worked alone as a freelancer, joined different teams, and eventually led a product team. This has exposed me to multiple design disciplines, including web design, interaction design, visual design, user interface, user experience design, and product design.

I previously worked at BRCK as a Product Lead and Designer, where my team and I were responsible for creating tools for our business customers and at Ajua where I led the redesign of the Ajua app for enterprises and the design of the Ajua Android App (now known as Tappi ).

Currently, I’m helping improve the customer experience across multiple platforms at StubHub.

I also help people make better investment and financial decisions through The Future Millionaire financial blog.
