About
Hi! I’m Tomisin! I’m a Product designer by background and developer by choice, but my passion lies in building impactful products, especially for early-stage startups.
I’m currently at Postman my main focus is turning abstract ideas into tangible, user-friendly experiences.
Previously, I shaped products at Orbit, a platform that helps communities grow their businesses. As a solo designer, I took on everything product-related. Before that, at Shecluded—a financial tool for women—where I was one of the first tech hires, designing and managing the development its first mobile app and assembling a talented team.
I write and speak sometimes about the intersection of tech, women and it’s growth in Africa.
Based in Nigeria, I’m also an avid traveler. In 2024 alone, I explored seven countries, learning about their culture and people with my wildest adventure being a lion walk!
Projects
Girma Africa is a media company focused on mainly young Africans. As a young adult who was trying to figure out my career path, I understood how difficult it is. We go to school for almost 20-25 years of our life in order to prepare for the outside world and we get out only to figure out that it isn’t as easy.
It’s more like there’s a gap between what we learned in school and the careers in the world today. From the role of Tiktok influencer, community manager to Social media manager. The schools do not prepare us with the required skills for these roles. The world of work has completely evolved but the courses taught in school are still the same.
Girma Africa’s mission is creating a new media intentionally focused on producing content catered for the growth of young people in Africa.
Community Search was a first-of-its-kind tool that enabled users to search through community conversations and documents, creating a dynamic, searchable knowledge base for companies.
I worked as the Lead designer on the project leading the design process and product scoping while collaborating with a second designer, Emmanuel, to craft the experience.
We successfully deployed on notable platforms like Redwood and Apache, empowering users with enhanced access to community-driven insights.
Programs is a tool designed for community managers to efficiently manage advocacy efforts and track contributions within their communities. I led the product’s design and strategy, collaborating with stakeholders to align on goals and working closely with users to build a solution that truly met their needs. From concept to development, the initiative was brought to life, and within a few months of launch, it achieved an impressive 1000% growth in active users.
Shecluded is a female-focused financial company on a mission to deliver simple and inclusive financial growth services. After operating with only a website for about a year, due to the analytics and accessibility the team decided to build a mobile app.
I worked as product designer and manager to deliver a unique experience. The team did not want the mobile app to be just another fintech app on the Playstore. Rather, we wanted to portray our brand attributes and vibe through the app. Giving users a conversational experience on the app.
Work Experience

As a product lead I was involved in leading the product initiatives that helps women to build financial growth. I was actively involved in communicating with our community to understand their needs. Discussing with different members on the team to translate these needs to experiences we can ship to users that will enhance their financial life.
My role at Shecluded evolved from a being a frontend developer to a product designer working with the team to design experiences for users on Web and Mobile. A big part of my role involved talking with and learning from our community to understand their needs and build experiences to solve this needs. I also collaborated with the Mobile developers to design this experience on Mole while working on translating these experiences on Web myself.
Worked as a Frontend Developer at Shecluded a product providing financial growth services for women. A big part of my day-to-day was also interfacing with women in the community to better understand their needs and translate it in code.
