Product Designer crafting enterprise fintech UI/UX and design systems with strong Figma-to-engineering delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Designer with 5+ years designing UI/UX for enterprise-scale financial products, with direct experience across Access Bank, Lotus Bank, Optimus Bank, Alpha Morgan Bank, Tatum Bank, and Lotus Capital. I specialize in translating complex, data-rich business requirements into interfaces that feel clear, trustworthy, and accessible.
My work is built on deep Figma proficiency across the full design workflow—research, wireframing, high-fidelity UI, design systems, and engineering handoff. I pair strong UI craft with disciplined UI documentation, governance, and detailed handover artifacts so teams can ship with confidence.
In my most recent role, I lead end-to-end UX/UI for a data-intensive financial infrastructure platform, maintain UI documentation, and build a Figma product design system (components, tokens, variants, and documentation) used directly by engineering. I also use Claude Code to prototype and validate interactions in real code, reducing design-to-engineering rework.
Across client engagements, I collaborate closely with Business Analysts and delivery teams to turn enterprise banking requirements into user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI. I continuously apply accessibility, usability, and secure design considerations, while staying effective in Agile environments and managing multiple concurrent priorities.
