About

I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria—a city where infrastructure is scarce but ingenuity is abundant. You learn quickly that good design isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. When systems don't work, people find ways to make them work. That resourcefulness shaped how I think about design: not as decoration, but as problem-solving that scales.

I started doing UI design in CorelDRAW on a whim, 15+ years ago as an undergraduate, labouring on a tiny Pentium 3 Toshiba laptop that served me long past it's manufacturers intended.

I then graduated to a Mac at my first job straight out of compulsory youth service most Nigerian graduates undertake, and was implored to start using Adobe Suite, but as I couldn't stand Adobe's then cluttered UI, I installed a parallel Windows drive on a MacBook just to keep using Corel. That's how strongly I felt about interfaces that work.

I have a BSc in Computer Science and Economics from Obafemi Awolowo University. First used Figma in 2018 and immediately knew it would be the future. Haven't looked back since.

The thread through everything I've built; from Kolibri's offline-first education tools used in 220+ countries, to Farmcrowdy's agtech platform serving 300K+ farmers, to Mular's crypto-to-Naira payment rails, is making essential tools accessible to the people who need them most.

I have a neurological condition that affects focus. It means I work best with external motivation structures. Ironically, this shapes how I think about designing for real users in constrained contexts; because I understand what it means to need systems that work around human limitations, not against them.
