👋🏽
Hey!

I’m ‘Seun, a product designer with over 5 years of experience working with various startups and multinationals. I have built and worked with teams to either develop products from scratch or improve businesses through design.

If you got this far, it means you want to really learn more about me. So I’ll try to give the best shot at it.

More about me

I have a multidisciplinary design backgroud ranging from urban design, landscape architecture and brand design. Starting as a trained Urban Designer, I have designed some notable public projects you might have encountered; a landscape design for a well known roundabout in Lagos mainland and worked with the landscape architecture team that designed the Ikorodu Masterplan in 2017.

I have an MBA (Distinction) from Nexford University. I most recently added front end web development in my “skills bucket” to help improve better collaboration with engineers.

Outside of my less ”geeking” days where I spend time feeding my curious mind through studying subject matter of interests, I listen to good classical music (Yanni tops the chart - I just like the diversity of his instrument, orchestra and music), running and catching up with friends and fam.

What I bring

Smooth Blend of Business and Design
My MBA education coupled with my management experience provides a leverage to deliver solutions at the intersection of business and design.

Diversity
I have worked across different sectors in the technology industry including the Healthtech, Edutech, Logistics technology and most recently the SaaS sector.

My values

Consistency
It’s a tough choice to remain consistent. My goal is to do my best work in the best way possible with enough grace to keep delivering better than yesterday.

Adaptability
Life wouldn’t be so fun if it didn’t have its randomness. A “VUCA” world presents many challenges as well as opportunities. I would want to be a lifelong learner, making the best attempt to understand how to get the best done out there.






My viewpoints

Welcome complexities
Treat them like bacteria, optimise for the good ones. Never sacrifice functionality for simplicity.

The “U” in the User isn’t You
Don’t design in isolation. Research, test and interview to deliver better experience.

Start small, scale quickly
Try to test with a simple solution and stay agile to improve and gradually add features to scale quickly,
