A proven team player, design mentor, team manager, and design thinking advocate who enjoys breaking down complex problems and training the next generation of designers.

As far as work goes, he has helped companies like eConsult Health (UK), Senior Internet (UK), Deep Consulting Solutions (USA), FirstBank (Nigeria), and MTN (Congo) build better interactions with their users. He holds a Master's degree in Interaction Design from Sheffield Hallam University as well as a Bachelors degree in Economics which he claims helps him understand business’ commercial needs. As a self-taught designer, he has a passion for continuous learning and facilitating design education in diverse communities - born from the frustrations of learning without having access to mentors.
