SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER
💃🏾 A little bit about me
My journey to becoming a product designer was a gradual one. I've always been passionate about designing and developing user experiences (UX) focusing on accessibility.
Not knowing about UX, I leaned towards web development; I graduated with a Bachelor's in Systems & Computer Science from Howard University and started my tech career as a Software Engineer. From there, I became a Web Developer, Design Technologist consultant, UX Designer consultant, then eventually a Product Designer.

🎢 What I like to do for fun
If you can't find me at my computer, I'm either watching horror movies, singing my heart out at a karaoke bar, or traveling to my next destination. My life goals include: becoming a polyglot, visiting my parent's home countries of Sierra Leone and Nigeria, and self-publishing a fiction novel.
