Get to know ME

The story so far...

Over the years I’ve worked across several industries ranging from media, non-profit, finance to retail and telecoms; from early-stage startups at L5Lab; to billion dollar companies like Google; to hyper-growth businesses like Interswitch. I’ve also worked with some pretty awesome brands like YouTube, MTN and VISA.

To me, design is a problem solving activity. As a designer, I understand that the perfect design not only involves visual aesthetics, but even more importantly, an interface that functions well. This requires a deep understanding of human behaviour and psychology - the outcome of which greatly impacts the overall experience of the product, regardless of the platform.

With my knowledge in both design and technology I’m able to bridge the gap that many creatives face in collaborative environments.

Now

Currently, I’m working as a senior product designer at Kwara, turning analog credit unions in emerging markets into digital banks.

Interfacing across multiple squads solving complex for our B2B and B2C users.

I design products using psychology and the insights it offers on decision making to craft sustainable solutions that are in line with how humans actually make decisions, test ways to change behaviour and drive engagement, while also having the freedom to convey emotion and humanity to most effectively achieve its goals.

I do research, build user flows, information architecture and wireframes. With interactive prototypes and user testing I'm able to evaluate concepts and ideas – quickly and efficiently.

I focus my energy on learning as much as possible while maintaining a healthy balance between design and communication. Having the ability to make a difference by building solutions that help people live a better life is magic.

I follow an end-to-end design process that starts with research and continues with product thinking, interaction design, user testing, visual design and post-launch support.

I’m also an occasional DJ with a profound love of music, particularly soulful deep house & amapiano. I’ve made a few mixes you can listen to them here

Please reach out if you have any questions, I will love to help. 😉
