Product Designer Skilled at scaling startups to
market success.

I don’t just design screens, I create systems that work for real users and real businesses. I prioritize function and accesibility over flash, and I make sure every product I touch drives revenue, saves time, or both.

From Lagos to London, I bring fresh ideas and a global lens to every project, whether it’s for first-time or recurring users, driving retention as my goal. Let’s build something real together.

Modern. AI. Human Centered.
