ABOUT
ABOUT
I am a Nigerian born Product designer, with a prolific mind, and an appetite for adventures.
I generally introduce myself as a designer(without any prefix) because I see myself as a solutions designer, not just with Figma, but with anything ... be it business, design or even plumbing 😅, I just always have a mazy mind that loves solving problem.
I have been designing products for about 5+ years now and i must confess that its really something i love doing. Asides product design, I also do brand design and i am quite the maverick at it.
SO far over the course of my career I have designed over 30+ projects, some of which are either Live, dead, sold, grown or still in development, but i think a stand out experience for me would be the thrill of creating solutions that people have to depend on.
When I am not designing, I am either (in this exact order)
Talking about or building start ups and solutions
Mentoring a few design noobs
playing Esport or FIFA
playing football
Singing
Partying
Talking business with some random person
Listening to podcasts
Thinking about starting my stand up career

I actually have my background in Literature in English
I studied Literature-in-English at the most prestigious University in my home country- Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. In my second year of college, I stumbled upon the world of Design, particularly Graphics Design. Fast forward to my graduation, and I had transformed into a self-taught graphics wizard, wielding Coreldraw and Photoshop with confidence.
I was pleasantly surprised that English literature would find a way into the way I process and see designs, especially after all the psychological, philosophical and introspective exercises done as a student.
After working in a couple of agency roles and collecting my fair share of certificates, I found my true calling—UI/UX design and Product design. It was like coming home.
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the MDS Shift Nudge course, which provided the solid foundation I needed for my UX career. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm excited about the endless possibilities ahead!
