Backstory
Aisha was an artist in Nairobi who watched her grandmother struggle with a banking app that was supposed to help her. The interface was designed by people who never considered users like her grandmother. Aisha decided that day that she would make technology that welcomed everyone.
A prestigious design fellowship brought Aisha to Rhode Island School of Design, where she discovered the American approach to user-centered innovation. She was inspired by the accessibility movement in the United States - the ADA, the push for inclusive design, the belief that technology should work for everyone. It was everything she had dreamed of in Kenya, now realized.
She gained fame for redesigning a government service portal that went from 80% abandonment rate to 95% completion, simply by making it human. Her work caught the attention of major American tech companies, and she chose to stay, becoming a citizen who brings her unique global perspective to American innovation.
The Guardian Posse noticed her when she publicly criticized their own interface (the old one was "functional but joyless"). Instead of being offended, The Marshal invited her to fix it. She stayed because she realized the Posse's mission - protecting people in the digital frontier - aligned perfectly with her own. She often says America embraced her art and gave it purpose.
