Portrait of Mira Okafor, product designer, in soft daylight

Hi, I'm Mira

I spent six years designing fleet tools at a Berlin mobility company before going independent in 2017. Today I work only with climate-tech teams in energy, carbon and freight, on the software their operators open every morning. I join for eight to sixteen weeks, sit in on customer calls and ship alongside your engineers, not ahead of them.

Tidewater's operators were juggling four tools to balance 2.1 GW of offshore wind. I designed one console that ranks alerts by grid impact and shipped it with their team in eleven weeks.Read the case study →

Canopy field app

Verdant Carbon · Mobile app · 2024

12,400forest plots verified

Verdant's field crews measure trees where there's no signal for days. Canopy works fully offline, syncs when a phone finds a tower, and cut verification from six weeks to nine days.Read the case study →

Ledger onboarding

Northwind Carbon · Onboarding flow

+64%week-one activation

Finance teams were abandoning setup at the first emissions import. A guided import with sensible defaults got them to a first report in under an hour.Read the case study →

Solarshare pricing

Helio Co-op · Pricing page

2.3×trial-to-paid

Helio's pricing asked members to understand kilowatt-peak before buying. We priced by roof instead, and conversion more than doubled within a quarter.Read the case study →

Loop freight planner

Kinetic Freight · Logistics web app · 2023

1.1M kmof truck routes moved to rail

Planners at Kinetic defaulted to trucks because rail options were buried three screens deep. Loop shows the rail leg first, with cost and CO₂ side by side, for every Iberian lane.Read the case study →
