What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow my skills and contribute to innovative design projects that make a difference.

I am a passionate UI/UX designer with a strong commitment to creating user-centered designs that enhance the overall experience. My journey in design began with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science from Ahmadu Bello University, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of user needs. Over the past few years, I have honed my skills through various internships and volunteer positions, where I successfully contributed to projects that improved user engagement and satisfaction.

At Qualqa, I performed competitor analysis that informed the redesign of a pet salon website, significantly enhancing its user flow and value proposition. My experience at Sapien Africa allowed me to design a high-converting landing page that attracted over 2.8K followers on X, showcasing my ability to create impactful digital solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments, as demonstrated during my time at Tech4Good Africa, where I led user research and worked closely with developers to refine designs based on user feedback.
