Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’ve had the privilege of designing products used by over 200 million people and helping startups raise $20M+ in funding—but at the heart of it, I’m just a curious human, learning through every iteration.

My Story

From Physics to Pixels: My Journey

My journey into UX is a bit of a winding road. I started out in studying physics for my bachelor's (true story), dabbled in graphic design for fun during university, and landed my first design job at Switch Entrepreneurs Magazine. But deep down, I was curious about more—how people think, what makes businesses tick, and how tech can tie it all together.

That curiosity led me to the Stutern Graduate Accelerator Bootcamp in 2019 and into UX design full-time, starting at Heroshe. Since then, I've been lucky to work across Fintech, Web3, and e-commerce, shipping products that have:

🚀 Helped raise $20M+ in funding
🌍 Been used by over 200M people worldwide
💳 Handled $100M+ in transactions

Physics taught me to seek patterns and ask deeper questions—but it was design that showed me how to connect those patterns to real people’s needs. My curiosity pulled me toward the intersection of psychology, business, and technology, and UX became the perfect place to bring it all together.

My Philosophy

Design with Curiosity and Care,
Design for Simplicity and Clarity

Design with Curiosity and Care, Design for Simplicity and Clarity

Design is about more than pixels or wireframes—it's about respect: for the user’s time, their attention, and their humanity. That’s why my approach is always rooted in simplicity and clarity, stripping away the unnecessary to let what truly matters shine through.

To me, great design is what’s left when everything unnecessary is stripped away. I believe every pixel should serve a purpose—beautiful is good, but beautiful and functional? That’s the magic.

I strongly believe that….

"Good design is invisible—it just works."

Beyond Design
Movies, Music, Photography (Places & People)

I’m deep into the things that make life meaningful. I believe inspiration doesn’t only come from within the design world—it comes from the stories we consume, the places we explore, and the quiet moments we capture.

Design is what I do—but it's not all I am.

All-time Favourites

I love films that make me think twice, linger longer, or hit just the right emotional note.

The Shawshank Redemption

The Lord of the Rings - Trilogy

The Big Bang Theory

Photography

Street photography is how I stay present. There’s something meditative about wandering through cities with a camera in hand

A few favorite captures—from Lagos, Birmingham, or wherever life takes me.

Music

Music is my creative fuel—Burna Boy, Ed Sheeran, Asake—they’re on repeat when I’m in flow. I curate playlists the same way I design: with intent, rhythm, and a feel for the moment.

Let’s work together!
