About

I combine my design and engineering skills to craft meaningful digital experiences. I love listening to music and I play lots of chess in my free time.

Projects

Ongoing
Improving customer engagement at T.EF Digital (Volunteer)

T.EF Digital—an award plaque production company based in Delta State, Nigeria—has struggled with expanding its customer base over the last 30 years. According to the business owner, the business has relied solely on family and friends for referrals which results in a limited annual revenue.

In collaboration with a digital marketing expert, we developed a solution that resulted in a 3% increase in customer engagement over 2.5 months. I led the entire design process—from user research to designing the solution.

2022

Kusnap is a B2C e-commerce web platform for the Nigerian market. Since its first launch in 2020, it has struggled with low customer retention rates.

In collaboration with the ProDevs' product team, we developed a mobile app focused on improving communication between buyers and sellers and creating a secure and transparent payment system allowing both parties to engage in business without the fear of being defrauded.

We successfully increased retention rates by 8% and gained over 10k downloads with a 3.7-star rating on Google PlayStore.

2021

Drawing inspiration from Turo, and working in collaboration with a dedicated product team, we developed a digital solution that addresses the challenges of running a P2P car rental product in the Nigerian market.

The app launched on November 2, 2021, and gained over 300 downloads on the Google Play Store while recording a 75% sign-up rate with an impressive 50+ rentals within 2 months.
