About
I’m a designer that is BIG on solving problems based on the data available or gotten from user research/user testing.
My idea is not just making decisions but make those decisions based on key data or insights i’m able to get my hands on. This makes me do good design, because good design is good business.
Outside of my day to day work, I'm also a gamer, football fan, and a mentor.

Work Experience
I currently lead a design team that contributes to making solar power more accessible to Nigerians through Financing, powering homes through a reliable energy source, and at the same time increasing Jobs in Nigeria by designing products that allow us partner with solar installers and manufacturers
I have so far contributed to the success of three companies to redesign websites and mobile/web apps, and help the company become more of a brand through Fouthcanvas. Companies such as:
-
Nomba (nomba.com—Helped the company design its new website & webapp/mobile app to strengthen it expansion that helped them raise a $30 million pre-Series B),
-
Parkway (parkway.ng/—Helped the company unveil its rebrand to support strategic vision for Fintech startups),
-
Ventures Platform (venturesplatform.com/ — Helped redesign the company’s website to back founders building the future of Africa)
I contributed to the company raising a $1m Pre-seed round from major African VCs and also get into the Y Combinator Summer batch 2022 (finextra.com/pressarticle/9… anchor-joins-y-combinator-summer-batch), with the re-design of the public beta API infrastructure for launch to ensure a very solid user experience for end users or consumers — collaborating with managers to design prototypes to test, validate assumptions and solutions.
I helped the company (Savyt) with strategic research and re-designed the public beta to deliver high quality experiences for different user persona/use cases, which later got acquired by Rex Africa (https:// www.rexafrica.com/) in 2021 after the launch allowing the product reach its full potential.
I contributed to the company raising over $300,000 on two different product Campaigns through indiegogo.
