Philip Rugamba
Product Designer
I fell in love with design practice in Architecture school, drawn to its perfect blend of creativity, logic and anthropology. My journey began in Uganda, where I digitized mobile games as a UI designer – watching our first title hit 1M downloads confirmed I'd found my calling.
This led me to lead design at Panya and Sellio, two ad tech startups where I experienced both the trials and triumphs of startup life. Wearing multiple hats taught me more than just design – it shaped my understanding of teams, business, and leadership.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me perfecting the same soup recipe I've been working on for years. Like good design, great soup is all about iteration!
