We are excited to announce Umar Salihu @i_umarsalihu as one of the speakers at the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Blantyre, Malawi.
Umar Salihu is a Product Designer, Creative Director, and the founder of Bitcoin Design Adoption Network (BDAN), an initiative focused on equipping designers across disciplines with the knowledge and mindset to think, design, and create in Bitcoin.
His work is driven by a simple belief: Bitcoin adoption is also a design problem.
While Bitcoin is often approached through the lenses of technology, economics, and finance, Umar is interested in the human side of adoption. How do people understand Bitcoin? How do they interact with it? What makes an experience feel clear, trustworthy, and useful? And how can designers help make Bitcoin accessible to people across different cultures, languages, economic realities, and levels of technical knowledge?
Through BDAN, Umar is working to grow a community of designers capable of answering these questions. The network aims to train designers across product, UX, research, visual design, branding, communication, and other disciplines to understand Bitcoin and apply their craft within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Alongside founding BDAN, Umar is a Product Designer and Creative Director at Gada, where he works across product strategy, user experience, visual design, branding, and creative direction. His broader design practice has given him experience working on digital products and services, which he brings into his work in Bitcoin.
His Bitcoin design work includes BitTerms, an open-source Bitcoin glossary created to make Bitcoin terminology easier for non-technical people to understand. He has also explored Bitcoin product concepts around privacy, node monitoring, wallets, and Lightning UX.
A recurring theme throughout his work is Bridge Thinking, his approach to designing Bitcoin experiences for contexts that are often overlooked by mainstream technology design. Coming from Nigeria and working within an emerging-market context, Umar is particularly interested in the realities of designing for people whose financial systems, infrastructure, digital habits, languages, and lived experiences can differ significantly from those assumed by products built for more developed markets.
Umar is also active within the broader Bitcoin design community, contributing to conversations around Bitcoin UX, education, product design, and adoption.
His long-term focus is not simply to design better Bitcoin products himself, but to help build the design capacity and thinking needed for Bitcoin to reach more people.
Designing for Bitcoin. Training designers for Bitcoin. Building toward adoption.

We are thrilled to announce Kimberley Sandra @Nyaaaaaaals as one of the speakers at the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Blantyre, Malawi.
Kimberley Sandra is a Kenyan Bitcoin policy and regulatory affairs practitioner focused on the intersection of Bitcoin, financial regulation, and financial inclusion in Africa.
She has worked across the African Bitcoin ecosystem, with experience spanning regulatory intelligence, compliance, policy research, ecosystem development, and operations. At Bitika, a Kenyan Bitcoin on-ramp, Kimberley worked on AML and compliance frameworks, regulatory engagement, data protection, and the development of Bitcoin infrastructure connecting mobile money users to Bitcoin.
Her work has also involved regulatory and policy research across several African markets, including Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa. She is particularly interested in how African regulatory frameworks can respond to Bitcoin in ways that reflect local financial systems, economic realities, and patterns of adoption.
Kimberley’s research and advocacy focuses on Bitcoin policy, financial sovereignty, and the transition from Bitcoin adoption toward Bitcoin industrialisation in Africa. She is interested in what happens when Bitcoin moves beyond individual users and becomes part of the infrastructure supporting payments, commerce, savings, capital formation, and economic participation.
She is currently focused on building deeper expertise at the intersection of Bitcoin policy, regulatory intelligence, and institutional engagement across Africa.
