About Me

I recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction. Currently, I am an Interaction Design Specialist at a global design and innovation consultancy, where I create people-driven experiences that inspire both business leaders and UX professionals. My career vision is to leverage cutting-edge technology and research to improve products, services, and lives through a deeper understanding of user experience.

My interest in design and engineering began early, inspired by my grandfather, a civil engineer in Nigeria, who shared his experiences of designing and building infrastructure. This fascination led me to explore courses in mechanical drafting and design in high school, where I found that I thrive when challenging myself to think abstractly. These formative experiences ultimately shaped my decision to pursue a career as a designer.

In My Free Time

When I’m not designing or working on professional projects, I enjoy staying active and engaged with personal hobbies. I love going on runs and walks, especially in nature, which helps me clear my mind and stay energized. Traveling is another passion of mine—I'm always eager to learn about unique cultures. My most recent trip was to Lisbon, Portugal!

I also enjoy solving jigsaw puzzles. There's something meditative about piecing together a complex design, and I can easily lose track of time when I’m working on one. Once I complete a puzzle I particularly love, I like to glue it together and hang it up at home as a reminder of the satisfaction that comes from finishing a challenging project.
