Tobi Olowu
@tobiolowu
Results-oriented UI/UX and graphics designer driving user engagement.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile UI/UX and graphics designer with five years of hands-on experience creating visually engaging and user-centered digital products. I combine user research, interaction design, and visual craft to deliver designs that improve engagement and usability.
At AITI I led UI/UX projects, developed a gamification dashboard, and used research-driven insights to boost student engagement and task completion rates. I collaborate closely with developers and product managers to minimize post-implementation design changes.
As a freelance team lead at FSDI I planned and executed design campaigns that increased community engagement and reinforced brand consistency across environmental initiatives. I produce social and print graphics, identity systems, and high-fidelity UI assets.
I bring strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, with tool proficiency in Figma, Sketch, Photoshop, prototyping, wireframing, and usability testing. I focus on measurable outcomes and continuous improvement in every project.
