About MySirigu

MySirigu is an innovative international platform combining social networking with meaningful gifting. As Lead Brand Designer and Full-Stack Architect, I led development of this hybrid ecosystem where users across UK, US, Africa, and beyond can connect socially while funding personal milestones (birthdays, education goals, holidays) through a secure gifting economy. This hybrid platform merges Twitter-style social networking with GoFundMe-like gifting, serving users across 43 countries.
