What I'm looking for

I’m looking for product design work where I can apply user research, clear interaction design, and scalable design systems to build simple, intuitive digital experiences—ideally across fintech, edtech, or creator-focused products.

I’m a Product Designer passionate about creating digital experiences that are simple, intuitive, and impactful. I turn complex problems into user-centered solutions by combining research, strategy, and visual design.

At Fluent, I led end-to-end design for an AI-powered video editing application—creating workflows for uploading, reviewing AI-generated edits, and exporting polished results. I also simplified speech-disfluency detection and built a scalable design system with reusable components to keep the experience consistent.

In Lagos, I led design for digital banking with onboarding, transfers, bill payments, savings, and account management, supported by competitor research and a scalable design system. Freelancing since 2024, I design products from concept to high-fidelity interfaces, and I’ve also worked on brand and illustration for tech events and campus initiatives.
