About Me

I am a Nigerian British Canadian American user experience (UX) professional with a social science background. In a previous career, I studied how people across cultures make meaning of their lives from a developmental and psychological perspective. As part of this, I tutored students for many years, and then led my own classrooms, where I got kids excited about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). My interest in enhancing learning through tech led me to pursue a career in UX and apply my previous skills to digital platforms. Today, I’m a UX researcher and mentor based in Chicago, and I thrive on collaborative teams that celebrate differences and multidisciplinary inspiration.
