About

Who am I? Simply put, I'm a Software Designer. The one you need, once you have an idea, or vision that requires soft design. At my core, I'm very analytical, imaginative and intelligent. Yes, I said it. Unfortunately, I'm not striving to be the best because that is not a metric I can truly measure. I'm motivated by something that I consider to be much more. I'm here chasing you and your idea to impact. I strongly advocate for figuring out the correct problem and defining it. A properly written-out problem leads you to its solution. Crafting the appropriate solution requires that the problem be defined, the best choice solution for users and stakeholders be quizzed out, the product specifications be documented, and then finally, design explorations. I have experience creating design systems and working with them. I achieve all of this through my own creative process that starts with Defining the problem, Describing it, Designing it, Developing it, Deploying, and Documenting the solution. I'm a motion skill away from being the full 9 yards. Welcome to my world. How can I help you in Pursuing Impact?

The repair guys

Product Designer

Sep 2021Jan 2024 · 2 yrs 4 mos · Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

  • As a product designer, my core strengths include defining the problem to be solved, proposing the correct solution for users and stakeholders, detailing out product requirements, determining the product creation process and finally designing the final solution.
  • I enjoy getting lost in visual design.
  • I focus a lot of initial energy on defining the correct problem and specifying it, because I also enjoy starting at the very beginning. Design to me, is just as non-visual as it is visual. Therefore, if problems are not properly defined using first principles thinking and user research, it is very easy to build a solution to the wrong problem.
  • Proposing the correct solution to a problem takes skill and an acute love for simplifying things to make them easy. I do this when I describe the solution and all its parts, after carrying out both stakeholder and user research, before I start any form of visual design.
  • The best part is, I get the rare human priviledge to employ all these skills and abilities to create world class products everyday. I am indeed blessed.
