I have been designing since I was 12, working with my Dad in his
printing press was the most significant experience that
inspired my passion for solving problems with design.
I started designing first as an expression of my creative passions,
and then as a problem-solving tool for people and businesses.
I still
remember the clanking sound of our old Gestetner 211 and the smell of ink on paper
from freshly printed Sunday Bulletins. Oh! how can I forget sweating so much from using
the heat press machine to imprint words on thousands of fabrics used for election campaigns, protests, funerals,
celebrations etc?
Design and designing mean much more, it is simply my life.
In the last 8years, I have designed brand identities and digital
experiences for businesses to showcase value and to guide users
through delightful experiences in the products they use. I have
designed initiatives to improve product UX, drive user engagement
and improve customer satisfaction. I have also lead teams to build
products that solve some of the most intimate problems people and
businesses face. In 2021, I co-founded Spire - to help product
teams collect contextual feedback visually, conduct UX research and
test their ideas to quickly uncover valuable user insights that will
help them deliver delightful product experiences that customers
love.
I have had the opportunity to work on some of the
most impactful projects across several industries and that is in
fact my moat; the experience of seeing human behaviours through
design in different contexts.
As a self-taught designer, community has been one of the most
instrumental ways I have grown as a designer. I am part of several
design community initiatives in Nigeria and contribute my quota in
helping the ecosystem mature as well as continue to inspire and
mentor other designers.
I have found my life’s purpose
to be at the nexus of some of the world's biggest challenges;
education, digital economy, public services, healthcare, and wealth.
All of my experiences over the years have provided me with the
opportunity to design use cases in these areas. Today, I am focused
on connecting people to the value of technology through useful and
impactful user experiences. I look forward to collaborating with
diverse people and teams building innovative products that solve
some of the most intimate customer-centric problems.
