Farai coaches People Managers who want to be great at their jobs, but don’t have the support to learn and develop the necessary skills. He also works as a UX Manager at Shopify in Ottawa. Before that, while living in South Africa, Farai designed banking apps used by many across the continent. He grappled with unique design challenges because most internet users have never used a laptop or desktop. And some buy data by the megabyte.
