Bio
Adebola here,
I am hobbyist designer and engineer with 6+ years of experience developing, and delivering intuitive products in local and international markets.
My journey began during my undergrad –– when I helped digitise facets of my mother's wholesale business, igniting my passion for design. I honed my skills in the years that followed, leading to opportunities with esteemed organisations like JPMorgan, Blossom, and Access Bank. I specialise in complexity reduction and have applied its principles in designing enterprise-level software, mobile apps, web apps, and design systems. I possess a diverse technical skill set, including specialisations in product thinking, visual design and interaction design.
