I turn messy ideas into impactful products.
Hello 👋🏾 and Welcome
Hi, I’m Michelle Enakeno Umar. I enjoy crafting digital experiences from unrefined ideas. I work on web and mobile interfaces, and I’ve dabbled in game design.
Right now, I’m learning Blender so I can build the things I’m obsessed with: robots and futuristic projects. I’m also a huge fan of gamification.
I enjoy a good challenge. Throw me into an unfamiliar industry and I’ll conquer it. All I need is time.
I struggle with writing about myself. Sharing accomplishments isn’t something I’m great at (yet), but I’m working on it. For now, I hope the projects here can speak the words I sometimes find hard to articulate. Feel free to explore and make yourself at home. If you’d like to share feedback, chat about a project, collaborate or discuss opportunities, don’t hesitate to send me an email ❤️.

Digital
Products.
I craft digital products where user needs and business goals meet engaging experiences.
Game
Design.
I design mobile games with stories to tell, worlds to explore and mechanics to master.
What I've Made
My Portfolio.
These are some of the projects I can share. A few are under NDA, and I’m currently battling procrastination to finish more personal projects and document my process here.
Product Design.
Here, I explore digital interfaces that bridge the gap between user needs and business goals.
Game Design & Dev.
Push the play button to start. Here you’ll find all things games: UI, design, mechanics, and more. Still learning and improving.
Challenges
What I’ve Participated in.
I like participating in competitions to test myself. Am I making progress with my learning? How well can I handle pressure? Can I deliver under tight constraints? Every challenge pushes me further and it’s a great way to learn fast.
What I'm Designing
Creative Shots.
Creative Shots are personal design projects where I explore ideas without worrying about KPIs, business goals, or constraints. The only limit is my imagination (and sometimes my lack of skill). I experiment, document how I come up with ideas, and sprinkle in mini tutorials 😊. Feedback is always appreciated, and collaboration is welcome.
Journal Entries
Sharing my Thoughts.
This is my little quiet but very public corner. I share thoughts on life, struggles, lessons, and, hopefully soon, industry topics.
