What I'm looking for

UX and Product Designer roles (general, design systems-related, and accessibility-related)

As a skilled Product Designer with 6+ years of experience, I am dedicated to creating innovative solutions that meet the needs of all users. I am passionate about advocating for inclusive design, equity, and diversity, so I prioritize these values in every aspect of my design process.

My journey to becoming a product designer was gradual. I've always been passionate about designing and developing user experiences (UX) that focus on accessibility.

Not knowing about UX, I leaned towards web development; I graduated with a Bachelor's in Systems & Computer Science from Howard University and started my tech career as a Software Engineer. From there, I became a Web Developer, Design Technologist consultant, UX Designer consultant, and Product Designer.

If you can't find me at my computer, I'm either watching horror movies, singing my heart out at a karaoke bar, or traveling to my next destination. My life goals include: becoming a polyglot, visiting my parent's home countries of Sierra Leone and Nigeria, and self-publishing a fiction novel.
