What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Product Designer role where I can own end-to-end design for web and product experiences, collaborate with product/engineering, and improve usability with user research, design systems, and measurable outcomes.

I’m a Product Designer based in Lagos, and I lead end-to-end design initiatives across web and product experiences. I’ve designed for products like iCare, a web app for resident care management and medical reporting, and City Sightseeing Gozo, a digital ticketing ecosystem for open-top bus tours.

I care about turning research and product thinking into usable, brand-consistent experiences. At Edukoya, I collaborated with founders and creatives to design and test an edtech product—creating animations and illustrations that increased user engagement by 30%.

From UI/UX work on Projected’s SaaS accounting workflows to cohesive visual identity and user-centered interfaces at FOBBS (UK), I’ve built strong foundations in prototyping, usability testing, and design systems. I’m motivated by teams that value craft, iteration, and measurable impact.
