The problem

In many local communities, finding a trusted and available artisan is stressful and unreliable. There is no structured way to find vetted professionals by location, availability and verified reviews. I used Ghana as the case study.

What I learned

I interviewed people about how they find artisans today:

  • Most people rely on their contacts. They ask around for anyone who can do the job.
  • If they are lucky enough to find someone, that person may live far away, and they have to pay for transport.

The goal

  • A mobile-first app that makes finding artisans simple.
  • Trust through verified profiles and reviews.
  • Booking an artisan in under 3 minutes.
  • A clean, accessible interface for all kinds of users.

My role

I was the Product Designer, covering problem solving, UX research, UI design and prototyping.

Finding a welder in Teshie

Say you need a welder in Teshie. Instead of calling around, you open Anywork.

1. Pick a trade

The home screen shows big, clear tiles for each trade, such as Mason, Carpentry, Mechanic, Plumbing and Electricals. One tap tells Anywork what you need.

2. Find someone nearby

Search lets you filter by category and location. Results show each artisan’s name, trade, area and rating, like Yaw Mensa, a welder in Teshie. You can see who is close and who others rate well before you call.

3. Hire again

Good artisans are worth keeping. Your history lists past jobs by date, like Kwame the welder last Tuesday, with a Hire Again button on each one. Next time, there’s no need to search.

The result

Anywork turns “Do you know anyone who can do this?” into a few taps. It finds someone nearby who others trust, and keeps them one tap away for next time.
