What I'm looking for

A fully remote, full-time individual-contributor design role. My best work happens when brand and product sit together: identity systems, design systems, and the digital work that carries a brand across every surface. I'd like a small-to-mid-sized team where design has a real say and I'm close to the people making decisions. Looking for roles open to candidates based in Nigeria.

Brand and product designer — 6 years, Lagos (WAT, UTC+1). Fully remote, no visa sponsorship needed.

Managed visual identity across six brands at S.EA Consulting; launched two sub-brands, JOEL.R.ANDERSON and IAN.E.CARSON, from identity system to launch collateral.
Designed a two-sided healthcare platform solo — patient app and provider portal from flows, information architecture, component system and shipped UI (under NDA).
Co-founded DOT studio, 2025. Brand development end to end.
In-house designer at Agrivolt Protocol (New Zealand); client identity work for Jimmat Clothing (Canada).
Built the brand guidelines internal teams and vendors work from, including an 80-page InDesign guide.
Figma daily; Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign. Illustration runs through the work and anchors the portfolio.

BSc Mass Communication, minor in PR and Advertising (Lagos State University) — I start from what a brand is trying to say before deciding how it looks.

Looking for: fully remote IC role, senior at most, on a team small enough that design is in the room when decisions get made.
